Variables GETMSG sets for each line of message text z/OS TSO/E REXX Reference SA32-0972-00 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GETMSG also sets an array of variables for the message it retrieves. The variables are set for each line of message text for the retrieved message. The variable names are compound symbols. The stem of each variable name is the same for all lines of message text. The value following the period (.) in the variable name is the line number of the line of message text. The names of the variables correspond to the field names in the
message data block (MDB) in MVS/ESA System Product. The variable names
consist of the msgstem you specified on the call
to GETMSG, followed by the name of the field in the MDB, followed
by a period (.), which is then followed by the line number of the
message text. For example, one field in the message data block is
MDBTTYPE, which is the text object type of the MDB. If you specify msgstem as "CMSG." (with
a period), and GETMSG retrieves a message that has three lines of
message text, GETMSG sets the following MDBTTYPE variables:
If you specified the msgstem as "CMSG" (without a period), GETMSG sets the three variables as CMSGMDBTTYPE.1, CMSGMDBTTYPE.2, and CMSGMDBTTYPE.3. Table 1 describes the array of variables that GETMSG sets for each line of message text.
