Multilevel Messages

z/OS TSO/E Programming Services
SA32-0973-00

A multilevel message is composed of one or more segments to be formatted and written to the terminal, and one or more message segments to be formatted and written to the terminal in response to question marks entered from the terminal. Note, however, that if you specify MODE in the PUTGET macro instruction, you can process only single-level messages. To have second-level messages written to the terminal, one at a time, in response to successive question marks entered from the terminal, specify PROMPT and TERMGET=EDIT on the PUTGET macro instruction. Note that if you specify PUTGET with TERMGET=ASIS, the user's terminal will not recognize the question mark. If PROMPT messages are to be available to the user at the terminal, the top element of the input stack must not specify a procedure element as the current source of input, and the terminal user must not have inhibited prompting. (See the PROFILE command in z/OS TSO/E User's Guide.)
