Logfile, Console, and ITO Interface Templates
The variables listed below can be used in most logfile, Console, and ITO
Interface template text entry fields (exceptions are noted). The variables
can be used within ITO, or passed to external programs.
<$OPTION(N)> Returns the value of an optional variable that is set by
opcmsg or opcmon (for example, <$OPTION(A)>

man page for information about how to set this
variable.
<$MSG_APPL> Returns the name of the application associated with
