ERRORS, MESSAGES, RESULTS, and PRINTBACK Subcommands (SET command)

ERRORS, MESSAGES, RESULTS, and PRINTBACK are used with keywords LISTING and NONE to route program output. ERRORS, MESSAGES, and RESULTS apply only to text output. PRINTBACK applies to all commands that are entered in a syntax window or generated from a dialog box during a session.

• ERRORS refers to both error messages and warning messages for text output.
• MESSAGES refers to resource-utilization messages that are displayed with text output, including the heading and the summaries (such as the amount of memory that is used by a command).
• RESULTS refers to the text output that is generated by program commands.
• PRINTBACK refers to command printback in the log in the Viewer window and in the journal file. Syntax is always displayed as part of the Notes in the syntax window.

LISTING. Display output in the designated output window. This alias is ON or YES. For PRINTBACK, the alias is BOTH. The executed commands are printed back in the journal and displayed in the log in the output window. You can either display an icon only or list all commands.

NONE. Suppress the output. The alias is NO or OFF.
