Routing code descriptions

Routing codes send system messages to the consoles where they are to be displayed. To send a message to more than one console, RACF® assigns more than one routing code to the message. For more information about message routing, see your MVS routing and descriptor codes information.

Code

Description

1

Master Console Action

The message indicates a change in the status of the system. It requires action by the master console operator.

2

Master Console Information

The message indicates a change in the status of the system. It does not require action; rather, it alerts the master console operator to a condition that might require action.

This routing code is used for any message that indicates job status when the status is not requested specifically by an operator inquiry. It is also used for processor and problem program messages to the system operator.

9

System Security

The message gives information about security checking, for example, a request for a password.

11

Programmer Information

The message is intended for the problem programmer. This routing code is used only when the program issuing the message cannot route the message to the programmer by way of the system output (SYSOUT) data set. The message appears in the job log.

Note: Routing code 11 is ignored if specified for a multiple-line WTO macro instruction.
