A message consists of several sections. Not all categories are
used for each message. For messages that are always issued as a group,
the "Explanation" section of the first message usually contains a
complete description of the other messages in the group.
- Explanation
- Explains why VTAM® issued
the message and describes all text and variables in the message.
- System action
- Explains the state of VTAM or
the operating system after VTAM issues
the message. This section also indicates whether the system is waiting
for a reply.
- Operator response
- Describes actions that the operator can or must take at the console.
- Programmer response
- Suggests actions, programming changes, or system definition changes
that isolate or correct errors or improve the efficiency of the system.
- User response (USS messages only)
- Describes actions that the user can or must take at the terminal.
