This information supports z/OS® (5694-A01). Purpose of this information: This information primarily
describe messages that are issued to the system operator at the system
console and system messages that are logged. These include:
If you do not know which document describes a particular message,
try using LookAt. Here are some of the message documents:
This information also contains the routing and descriptor codes that IBM® assigns to the messages that z/OS components, subsystems, and products issue. Routing and descriptor codes are specified by the ROUTCDE and DESC keyword parameters on WTO and WTOR macros, which are the primary methods that programs use to issue messages. The routing code identifies where a message will be displayed. The descriptor code identifies the significance of the message and the color of the message on operator consoles with color. Who should read this information: The system messages documents
are for all people who receive messages from the system. Usually,
these people are system operators, system programmers, and application
programmers who do any of the following tasks:
Where to find the most current message information: The MVS System Messages documents are cumulative. As messages are added to the system they are added to the documents. Similarly, when messages are changed on the system, they are changed in the documents. However, when a message is deleted from the system (no longer issued), the message is not deleted from the document. This means that users can look in the most recent message documents for the most current descriptions of system messages. To find the most current edition of a document, go to the z/OS Internet library and use the messages and codes database to search for the message ID you are interested in. |
