Controls the display of error messages IST663I, IST664I, IST889I, and their message groups. These messages are issued when a session initiation request originated by this application program fails because trial and error routing, using an adjacent SSCP table, exhausted the table and was unable to locate the destination LU. The messages might also be issued when a session initiation request targeted to this application program fails for similar reasons.

The SIRFMSG operand setting on the APPL definition statement controls the ASIRFMSG, ESIRFMSG, FSIRFMSG, RSIRFMSG, and SIRFMSG start option processing. See Descriptions of start options for more details.

When a value other than SIRFMSG=STARTOPT is specified for an application resource, the resource level setting of SIRFMSG overrides whatever SIRFMSG start option setting is in effect at the node. If both resources (origin and destination logical units) for a given session initiation request have SIRFMSG values other than SIRFMSG=STARTOPT specified, then the less restrictive setting (where ALLSSCP is less restrictive than OLUSSCP which in turn is less restrictive than NONE) will be used to determine if the error messages are issued.
SIRFMSG=ALLSSCP
Specifies that messages are issued for all session initiation request failures involving this application program.
SIRFMSG=OLUSSCP
Specifies that messages are issued only when the VTAM® owning this application program is the origin logical unit (OLU) SSCP for the failing session initiation request.
SIRFMSG=STARTOPT
Specifies that the value of the SIRFMSG start option is to be used for this resource. This is the default setting.
SIRFMSG=NONE
Specifies that no messages are issued for any searches involving this application program.
