  ****************************************************************
  When RCF detects that a change of forms is required,
  msgDFHRC5479 'SET UP PRINTER xxxx WITH FORMS ffff' is issued.
  VSE/POWER prefixes the message with message id 1QZ2A to
  highlight the message and prevent it from scrolling off the
  console screen. (Unless SET 1QZ2A=OFF has been specified
  POWER startup.)
  However, after the operator has replied to the message
  with a PGO command, it remains highlighted until the operator
  deletes it manually.
  RCF issues the message via a 'send message order' and
  VSE/POWER responds to this with an order-response record.
  This record contains the console message number in field
  PORSMID, so that it can be deleted by RCF. However the RCF
  code fails to issue the command to delete the message.
  Additional keywords: PORSFMID msg1QZ2A DOM
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPSPIO has been altered to check if flag PORSFMID is set after
  the 'send message' order, issued to send message DFHRC5479, is
  responded to by VSE/POWER. If set, the console message number in
  field PORSMID will be saved. Then, after CICS has received
  a response order from VSE/POWER, it will use the saved message
  number to issue a DOM command (Delete Operator Message) to
  remove any highlighted DFHRC5479 message from the console.
