A message group contains two or more messages that are displayed together in response to a specific command or error condition. The following example is a message group.

EZZ8453I jobtype STORAGE

EZZ8454I jobname STORAGE     CURRENT MAXIMUM  LIMIT
EZD2018I location
EZZ8455I         storagetype current maximum  limit
EZZ8459I DISPLAY TCPIP STOR COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY

In most cases, the "Explanation" section of the first message in the group contains an example of the group and information about all messages in the group. The message descriptions of members of the group refer back to the first message for complete information.
