How to Display Exceptional Messages

An exceptional message is a message whose severity is either Unusual, Important or Critical. You use the INGMSGS command to display exceptional messages. From the INGMSGS panel you can either delete the messages or view details about the resource that is associated with the message (that is, by invoking INGINFO for it).

By default the messages are displayed on the INGMSGS panel in chronological order (the oldest message is shown at the top of the panel) but can be rearranged in any other order, for example, by severity with the SORT subcommand. The individual messages are colored depending on their severity. The color attribute is defined via SDF status definitions.

You can also display exceptional messages for one or more resources by specifying them with the INGMSGS command.
