Don,

Coding COND(&XXX *EQ *MSG) is identical to coding COND(&XXX *EQ '*MSG') -- they do exactly the same thing.

I came across this line of code in a program and I have not been able to
find any documentation for it.

DCL VAR(&XXX) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)

IF COND(&XXX *EQ *MSG) THEN(DO)

The program is called with a value of '*MSG' for the variable &XXX

There are no quotes around the *MSG

Have you seen this before ?
