Displaying message suppression, retention, color, intensity, and highlighting options

Use the DISPLAY MPF (message processing facility) command to display information about message processing and presentation that is contained in the MPFLSTxx parmlib member or members currently in effect.

The MPF parameter on the INIT statement in the CONSOLxx parmlib member or the SET MPF=xx command activates and deactivates an MPFLSTxx member or members.

The syntax of the DISPLAY MPF command is:

 
D MPF[,{MSG|M}   ][,L={a|name|name-a}]
      |,{COLOR|C}
      |,CMD

The system is to display information about message processing and presentation. If you do not use operands on the DISPLAY MPF command, the system displays the following information:

• Which messages are being suppressed by MPF
• Which action message are not being retained by the action message retention facility
• Which installation exits receive control for selected messages
• The status of the general WTO installation exit IEAVMXIT
• Whether this message is automated by MPF
• The MPFLSTxx member that identifies the message ID, color attribute, or command installation exit definition
• What color, intensity, and highlighting capabilities are in effect
• The status of the command installation exit routines specified in parmlib member MPFLSTxx
• The current installation options for handling foreign messages
• Whether verbose messages are to be produced or not
