Variable name	Description
HZSLFMSG_DIRECTMSG.EXPL	Explanation for the exception message describing the exception condition.
HZSLFMSG_DIRECTMSG.SYSACT	Describes what the system or component that owns the check does as a result of the condition that caused the exception message to be issued.

HZSLFMSG_DIRECTMSG. AUTOMATION	Describes automation concerns related to the check results.
HZSLFMSG_SEVERITY={SYSTEM \| LOW \| MED \| HI \| NONE}	Specifies the severity for the check, for checks that are set up to specify check severity dynamically. HZSLFMSG_SEVERITY is only allowed for: Checks added with parameter ALLOWDYNSEV(YES) to allow the check to specify check severity dynamically Check exception messages (not for information or report messages) Note that the check is responsible to clear (with a DROP statement) or reset this variable between calls to HZSLFMSG, to avoid having a consecutive HZSLFMSG call pick up the severity specified previously. SYSTEM indicates that check exceptions be issued with the severity defined for the check when the check was added or updated. LOW indicates that this check exception message is sent as a low severity message MED indicates that this check exception message is sent as a medium severity message. HI indicates that the check exception message is sent as a high severity message. NONE indicates that the check has no severity. For complete information on how the system handles check exception messages based on the severity you specify, see SEVERITY and WTOTYPE in Syntax and parameters for HZSPRMxx and MODIFY hzsproc.
