Privilege Class: G
Use SET EMSG to control error message handling. The initial setting for EMSG is
installation dependent and is defined in the system configuration file.
ON
specifies that both error code and error message text are displayed on your
display screen.
CODE
specifies that only the error code is displayed.
IUCV
specifies that both the error code and text are to be passed to the virtual
machine through IUCV if a connection to the message system service exists. If
no IUCV connection exists, the message is handled as if SET EMSG ON had
been issued.
OFF
specifies that no error messages are displayed.
TEXT
specifies that only the message text is displayed.
1. If you specify the TEXT option, the number of the message is not displayed.
The lack of a message number makes it difficult to locate the message in the
z/VM: System Messages and Codes - CP. Therefore, use the TEXT option with
caution.
2. The full message is spooled (code and text) if SET EMSG is set OFF; otherwise
an error message is spooled according to the setting.
3. CMS recognizes EMSG settings for all error (E) and information (I) messages,
but ignores the EMSG setting and displays the complete message (error code
and text) for all other system messages.
HCP003E Invalid option - {option|command
contains extra option(s) starting with
option}
