&SYSM_HSEV System Variable Symbol
Use &SYSM_HSEV to get the highest MNOTE severity so far for the assembly.
The global-scope system variable symbol &SYSM_HSEV is assigned
a read-only value. The assembler compares this value with the severity
of MNOTE assembler instructions as they are encountered and, if lower,
updates it with the higher value.
Notes:
- The value of the variable symbol is supplied as three numeric characters, not as an arithmetic (binary) value.
- The value of the type attribute of &SYSM_SEV (T'&SYSM_SEV) is always N.
- The value of the count attribute (K'&SYSM_SEV) is always 3.
- The value of &SYSM_HSEV is unreliable if any MNOTE is incorrectly coded such that a diagnostic message is generated for the MNOTE statement. The cause of the diagnostic message must be corrected.
In &SYSM_SEV System Variable Symbol, the &SYSM_HSEV variable is updated immediately when an MNOTE is issued with a higher severity.
