MSGDISP

Synopsis

HELP:   Output medium for FLAM messages
TYPE:   NUMBER
SYNTAX: MSGDISP/MSGD=TERMINAL/MSGFILE/SYSTEM

Description

With parameter MSGDISP it is possible to control the output medium for messages (z/OS only).

The FLAM protocol is principally stored into a file if no other instructions are given by parameter MSGDISP.

All messages are written by default into a message file:

//FLPRINT DD DSN=list_file,DISP= ...

//FLPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

If no file is specified despite the fact that the parameter MSGDISP=MSGFILE is set, a message is written to the console via WTO, ROUTCDE=11 and the program is terminated with a condition code (WTO=Write-To-Operator).
Parameters in the same context: MSGFILE and MSGDDN
