Here's a simple call to printf from LE-enabled assembler.
ceedsa ,
ceecaa ,
prntit ceeentry main=YES
call PRINTF,(fmtstr,3)
ceeterm
ppa ceeppa ,
fmtstr dc c'Test %d!',x'0'
end prntit
Output is:
Test 3!

I know I have seen an example somewhere of calling printf() from assembler.
Printf() does not really do a WTO, but the form of it named sprint() returns a
string that you could WTO.
The printf() family is super powerful -- more than you could hope to achieve in
a reasonable amount of macro coding.

We resolved this by creating using the TEXT= option with a register which
allowed us to use a single WTO MF=L and a single WTO MF=E for all WTOs. The
messages themselves are generated by a macro which has a LITERAL type (to
generate the constants), a DSECT form (to name where the variables are), and a
SPACE type, to reserve space in working storage for reentrant programs. We
don't use a macro to fill in the variables though.
It seems like what you want is similar to an assembler version of the C
language printf library function.
