Console Message Output Option function

You can specify whether to output the console messages for the Send processing, the Receive processing, and the Observe processing as conventional messages or as enhanced messages. Note that message numbers are not output in some conventional messages, but message numbers are always output in enhanced messages.

Specify this option in the Console Message Output Option (CNSSELECT) in the System Environment Settings. Set '0' to output conventional messages, and '1' to output enhanced messages.

For details about the System Environment Settings, refer to the following:

HULFT10 for zOS Administration Manual : Explanation of each field

Table 3.2 lists the message numbers that are output in conventional messages and the corresponding message numbers in enhanced messages to be switched with each other by this function.

Table 3.3 lists the messages whose message numbers are not displayed when you specify conventional message output but are displayed when you specify enhanced message output.

The output formats for conventional messages and for enhanced messages are explained below:

For conventional messages

If you specify conventional messages, HULFT outputs messages using the same layout as for versions lower than HULFT Ver.7. There is no change in the message number.

Even if you specify IDs of 9 bytes or more for the following management information, only the first 8 bytes are displayed:

Send Management Information
Receive Management Information
Transfer Group Information
Format Information
Multi Format Information

For the Host Name in the Host Information, HULFT outputs conventional messages of 9 bytes or more.

An example of the output for a conventional message is shown below:

Case where the message number is "XRT0002"

XRT0002 MACRO01 FAILED RC=8214 HOST=HOSTNAME FILEID=HOST01FI

Case where no message number is output

* SEND     * SEND ERROR RC=0004 FILEID=HOST01FILEID01

For enhanced messages

If you specify enhanced messages, HULFT outputs up to 50 bytes of the IDs for the following management information:

Send Management Information
Receive Management Information
Transfer Group Information
Format Information
Multi Format Information

The message number and message content are changed.

The service name is not changed.

An example of the output for an enhanced message is shown below:

Case where the message number is "XRT8002"

XRT8002 MACRO01 FAILED RC=8214 H=HOSTNAME001 
        F=HOST01FILEID01

Case where the message number is "XRA1001"

XRA1001 * SEND     * SEND ERROR RC=0004 FILEID=HOST01FILEID01

When a user-specific message and a subtask ID are output, HULFT adds them after the message number.

The following shows output examples of user-specific messages and subtask IDs.

Example: Case where no message number is output

Value for CONSMSG	OUTSTSKID	Message Displayed
Undefined or blank	N (not output)	* SEND * SEND ERROR RC=0004 FILEID=HOST01FILEID01
1234ABCD	Y (output)	* SEND * 1234ABCD 99999999 SEND ERROR RC=0004 FILEID=HOST01FILEID01

Value for CONSMSG

OUTSTSKID

Message Displayed

Undefined or blank

N (not output)

* SEND     * SEND ERROR RC=0004 FILEID=HOST01FILEID01

1234ABCD

Y (output)

* SEND     * 1234ABCD 99999999 SEND ERROR RC=0004 
FILEID=HOST01FILEID01

Example: Case where the message number is "XRA1001"

Value for CONSMSG	OUTSTSKID	Message Displayed
Undefined or blank	N (not output)	XRA1001 * SEND * SEND ERROR RC=0004 FILEID=HOST01FILEID01
1234ABCD	Y (output)	XRA1001 1234ABCD 99999999 * SEND * SEND ERROR RC=0004 FILEID=HOST01FILEID01
