The component-specific message keyword sections use the terms defined in Table 1.
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Message identifier | A three-letter prefix to identify the component that produced the message and a message serial number to identify the individual message (for example, IDC3009I). |
Message keyword prefix | The characters MSG, to which the message identifier is appended. This comprises the message type-of-failure keyword. |
Return or reason code | A numeric code contained in the message text. Either the message text or z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 1 (ABA-AOM), through z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 10 (IXC-IZP), can identify the type of code. |
Return or reason code keyword prefix | The characters RC, to which each return or reason code (exactly as it appears in the message) is appended. (Each code in the text requires its own keyword prefix.) This comprises a modifier keyword to specify the failure-related symptom. |
Go to one of the procedures indicated in the following table.
