Purpose

The MODIFY MSGMOD (message module) command enables you to specify whether VTAM® messages contain an identifier that indicates the VTAM module that originated the message. MSGMOD=YES puts the last five characters of the name of the issuing module immediately after the message identifier. This command overrides the value that was used on the MSGMOD start option.

If the addition of this identifier causes the message text to exceed the maximum allowable message length, the message is truncated on the right, with the possible loss of information. The truncation of messages can be significant (for example, when a display of buffer usage is requested). In this case, the truncated information contains the expansion increment for each buffer pool.

Note: You can use the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command to perform the same function as this command.

Operands

procname

The procedure name for the command. If procname in the START command was specified as startname.ident, where startname is the VTAM start procedure and ident is the optional identifier, either startname.ident or ident can be specified for procname.

If procname in the START command was startname, startname must be specified for procname.

MSGMOD

Specifies whether VTAM messages are to contain an issuing-module identifier.

MSGMOD=YES: Causes VTAM messages to contain an issuing-module identifier.
MSGMOD=NO: Causes VTAM messages to not contain an issuing-module identifier.
