Controlling message presentation through MPFLSTxx

Message presentation refers to color, highlighting, and intensity attributes that the system uses when displaying messages on different areas of an operator console. You can specify these attributes on the .MSGCOLR statement in the MPFLSTxx member; however, the console must support the attributes you specify. On the .MSGCOLR statement, you can indicate the display attributes that the system is to use in one of the following ways:
  • IBM-supplied defaults (DEFAULT).
  • Attributes specified in the previously used MPFLSTxx member or concatenation of MPFLSTxx members (NOCHANGE).
  • Color (c), highlighting (h), and intensity (i) attributes specified within MPFLSTxx for a message area (msgarea).

    For more information about these definitions, see Table 1.
