WRITE The WRITE verb writes a message or delivers it to the execution environment of the
NCL process: this can be to the user's terminal, to the activity log, or to all monitor
class users. With this verb, it is possible to write to another NCL process and pass an
MDO to it. When the WRITE verb is invoked by an NCL procedure started by using
the INTCMD verb, the output (that would otherwise go to the user’s terminal) is
obtained only by using the INTREAD verb.
