PREMSG= parameter for procedures

Use the PREMSG= parameter in procedure to specify whether (Y) or (N) you want to receive or suppress the DFS000I prefix message that precedes all DBCTL system messages and command responses. Valid values are Y, or N. Y is the default.

If the DFS000I prefix message is suppressed (PREMSG=N), all system messages are issued with the IMSID appended to the last line. The message can be a single line with a maximum of 121 characters of message text followed by XXXX, where XXXX is the IMSID. Or the message can be multiple lines with each line containing a maximum of 71 characters of message text. The IMSID is appended to the last line of a multi-line message or is the only text of a final line.

Display command output is prefaced by a prefix message:

 DFS4444I DISPLAY FROM ID=XXXX

where XXXX is the IMSID. The message text is in columns 2-71 of all subsequent lines. Column 1 of display output contains + if the message text continues to the next line; otherwise, column 1 is blank.

If PREMSG=Y (the default value) is selected, all system messages and command responses are issued as multi-line messages.

The first line is:

 DFS000I MESSAGE(S) FROM ID=XXXX

where XXXX is the IMSID. The message starts on the second line.
