MSGEXIT

MSGEXIT designates a module to be called to enable customization of compiler messages.

Syntax

Default: No exit is specified. Equivalent to specifying the NOMSGEXIT suboption of the EXIT compiler option. If MSGEXIT=* is coded without the name parameter, NOMSGEXIT cannot be overridden.
name: Identifies a module to be used with the EXIT compiler option. If the suboption for this user exit is specified, the compiler loads the named module and calls it to enable customization of compiler messages. The severity of messages can be changed, messages can be suppressed, and FIPS messages resulting from the FLAGSTD compiler option can be converted into diagnostic messages.
For more information about the EXIT compiler option, see EXIT compiler option in the Enterprise COBOL Programming Guide.
