Creating the message table

Sample message table

For a sample message table, see sample HZSSMSGT in either SYS1.SAMPLIB or on the IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® Web page:

In the message table, you'll provide both the message text and the explanation for each message.

For exception messages, the entire message, including text and detail (<msgtext> and all the <msgitem> tags), will appear in the message buffer, viewable using either HZSPRINT or SDSF. However, only the message text (<msgtext> tag) is included in the WTO. In the message text, convey the potential problem uncovered. In the detailed explanation, convey the suggested solution to the problem.
For non-exception messages, only the message text will appear in the message buffer.

The finished message table will be an interface which installations can automate.
