Controls the destination and content of console messages with a common suffix.
This parameter is applicable to the SYSTEM control statement (see SYSTEM statement).
MSGsuffix I|E|W|*
AUDIT [Yes|No|ON|OFF]
CONTent [Yes|No|ON|OFF|CODE|TEXT]
INFORM users-inform-list
LOG [Yes|No|ON|OFF]
DESCriptor descriptor-code-list
ROUTE route-code-list
The I suffix denotes informatory messages, E denotes serious error messages, W denotes warning messages, and * denotes all messages.
More than one MSGSUFFIX parameter may be specified if it should be necessary to define different options for I, E and W messages.
Subparameters under the MSGSUFFIX parameter are:
The AUDIT subparameter with the Yes or ON option causes all messages with the specified suffix to be directed to the IBM Session Manager Audit file. No or OFF stops messages in the group appearing in the audit.
CONTent [Yes|No|ON|OFF|CODE|TEXT]
The CONTENT subparameter controls the content of the messages with the specified suffix.
Yes and ON options cause both the message number and the text of the message to be printed.
No and OFF suppresses both the message number and the text.
CODE causes only the message number to be printed.
TEXT causes only the text of the message to appear.
Specifies a list of userids to which messages in the group are directed. The messages are sent in full, even though the original message appearing on the console may have been modified in accordance with MSGSUFFIX subparameters. The userid is that which is entered at IBM Session Manager sign-on time.
If the first entry in the list matches a IBM Session Manager statement or parameter name, the entry should be enclosed in inverted commas, or parentheses. Otherwise the entry will be interpreted as a statement.
By default, messages are directed to the system console. This is the same as specifying the ON or Yes options. Specifying OFF or No, prevents messages appearing on the system console.
DESCriptor descriptor-code-list
Each descriptor code has a value from 1 to 16 and corresponds to one of the z/OS action descriptor codes. Some of the codes are mutually exclusive, but IBM Session Manager does not perform any checking. The IBM manual describing z/OS supervisor services and macro instructions gives a list of codes and their associated actions. Each code in the list may be separated by a comma, a blank, or an equal sign.
Each route code may have a value between 1 and 16 and equates to an z/OS message routing code. IBM Session Manager does not check the mutual exclusivity of the codes. Reference should be made to the appropriate IBM manual describing z/OS supervisor services and macro instructions for a list of routing codes.
