OPAOEV RC= 46 error for MLWTO

Issue/Introduction

We have a msg rule processing ICH408I messages. It has the MLWTO keyword.

It had been working fine until we met following error this morning:

ICH408I USER(userid  ) GROUP(grp  ) NAME(name      ) 
OPS9999T ICH408I USER(userid  ) GROUP(grp  ) NAME(name      ) 
OPS9999T OPAOEV RC= 46 FOR ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE MSG.TEXT.2 
OPS1046T ERROR 46 RUNNING MSG.ICH408I, LINE 34: INVALID VARIABLE REFERENCE                                  
  vvvvvv CL(DASDVOL )

  FROM * (G)                                                                                                
  ACCESS INTENT(ALTER  )  ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE   )  FOR ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE MSG.TEXT.2 
OPS1046T ERROR 46 RUNNING MSG.ICH408I, LINE 34: INVALID VARIABLE REFERENCE

  FROM * (G)                                                                                                
  ACCESS INTENT(ALTER  )  ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE   ) 

It seems the rule cannot find the 2nd line of the ICH408I message, or the message rule triggered before all the lines of the MLWTO is collected.

Release : 13.0 13.5 14.0

Component : OPS/MVS

Resolution

It looks like an environmental error. The message was supposed to be a MLWTO but the flags indicate it was a single line message what may have caused the error:

ICH408I USER(userid ) GROUP(grp ) NAME(name ) 

----+----8----+----9----+----0----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4
Formatted OPS flags 
Single line message; Current message from authorized task; Message was
