JES2 messages appear on a display console or system log in the following format:

                                                                        {*    } 
[hh.mm.ss] [sysname] {jobid} {@    } {Nn Mm} $HASPnnnn text 
                                                                        {b[+]}

hh.mm.ss

The time stamp shows the time the message was issued in hours, minutes, and seconds. This display is optional and appears before the message identifier ($HASPnnn) if your installation has entered the CONTROL (K S,MFORM=(T)) command to include the time stamp in the console message format.

sysname

The system name. This display is optional and appears before the message identifier ($HASPnnn) if your installation has entered the CONTROL (K S,MFORM=(S)) command to include the system name in the console message format.

jobid

JES2 job identifier. This display is optional, and it appears before a subset of message identifiers ($HASPnnn) if your installation has entered the CONTROL (K S,MFORM=(J)) command to include the job identifier in the console message format. See Table 1 for a list of the subset of messages preceded by a job identifier.

Nn Mm

The number of the node (Nn) and the multi-access spool (MAS) member (Mm).

b

Blank, if no operator action is required.

+

Indicates the message is issued by JES2 generation or RMTGEN; no action is required.

$HASP

All messages in this document are documented with the $HASP prefix. The dollar sign ($) is the console character defined by JES2. All JES2 messages will be proceeded by $HASP unless your installation changes the dollar sign to another character using the CONDEF CONCHAR initialization statement, the $T CONDEF CONCHAR command, or supply the CONDEF CONCHAR statement from the console during initialization.
