Modifying message module identification
You can choose to include in VTAM® messages the last 5 characters of the VTAM module that issued the message. The module name abbreviation is displayed between the message ID and the message text.
To insert or delete module name abbreviations, use one
of the following methods, where YES indicates to insert the abbreviations
and NO indicates to not include them:
- Specify MSGMOD=YES|NO in the start option
- Issue the F net,MSGMOD=YES|NO command
- Issue the F net,VTAMOPTS,MSGMOD=YES|NO command
MSGMOD=NO is the default value. For more information about the MODIFY MSGMOD and MODIFY VTAMOPTS commands, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation.
Examples:
- If you specify MSGMOD=YES, VTAM message
xxxxx, where xxxxx is an operating system unique message number, is
displayed as:
xxxxx INFXI DUMP OF ncpname COMPLETE - If you specify MSGMOD=NO, the message is displayed as:
xxxxx DUMP OF ncpname COMPLETE
Note:
- Any message that exceeds the maximum message length after the insertion of the module ID is truncated.
- If your installation has changed the message text and omitted the message ID, the module name is the first item in the message.
