SYSADATA message information
When you specify the MSG suboption of the XINFO compile-time option, the compiler generates a SYSADATA file.
The SYSADATA file contains the following records:
- Counter records
- Literal records
- File records
- Message records
- Options record
The full set of declarations for all the ADATA records are available in the members ibmwxin and ibmwxop in the samples data set SIBMZSAM.
You should note that the records in the file are not necessarily produced in the order listed above; for example, literal and file records might be interleaved. If you are writing code that reads a SYSADATA file, you should not rely on the order of the records in the file except for the following exceptions:
- Counter records are the first records in the file.
- Each literal record precedes any reference to the literal it defines.
- Each file record precedes any reference to the file it describes.
