specifies that messages are to be sent to the terminal where you submitted the transaction and to the BDT system log.
LOG

NONE

Usage Notes

  1. When using the * option to send messages to a terminal, you can reduce the number of messages sent to the terminal by specifying MSG=S on the PARMS parameter.
  2. Do not confuse this parameter (which stands alone) with the MSG option of the PARMS parameter.
