The Tome describes the STATUSMG command as
Sets a status message in the status bar. This will replace the coordinates display, and also turn the background red. To remove this message again, run this command and provide an empty string
How exactly do I “provide an empty string”?

The semicolon in CC3+ does signify end of input. It is needed when a variable can contain things like spaces, especially when you want all the input of a single command to live on a single line.
If you are fan of the multiline command approach in macros (I am not), you could also just have STATUSMSG on it's own line, and then a completely blank line right below it. That would accomplish the same.
