Messages

Messages provide a short summary of a processing situation, an explanation of what might have caused the situation, and a recommended course of action.

All of the messages that are generated by Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm have a severity code printed as the last character of the message ID. This table describes these severity codes:

Table 1. Severity codes associated with description
Severity code	Description
I	Information only message. No user action is required.
W	Warning message. Results might not be as expected.
E	Error message. Some error situations are user-correctable; the User response section of the message documentation provides the recommended course of action.
D	Diagnostic message. These messages provide information that IBM Software Support can use to diagnose problems.
A	Action required message. These WTOR messages require a response from the user before processing can continue.

If you want to suppress the issuance of messages, see AXQMSGOV for information about modifying the AXQMSGOV parameter library member appropriately.
