In most cases, the "Explanation" section of the first message in the group contains an example of the group and information about all messages in the group. The message descriptions of members of the group refer back to the first message for complete information.
Message groups that are in response to DISPLAY commands are an exception. For these groups, each individual message in the group usually contains a complete message description. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for examples of these types of groups.
Some subgroups are optional parts of the group, and this is indicated by the use of brackets at the beginning and end of the subgroup. Subgroups can also be repeated, and this is indicated by three vertical dots following the last message in the subgroup.
