ASSOCIATE MESSAGES / MSGS
EPName
▼ name
1 You can specify the operands in any order, as long as EPNAME is the last operand specified.
Use ASSOCIATE MESSAGES or MSGS to assign an external symbol to a local
message repository and to give CP information about how to select the messages
in that repository.
You can also assign external symbols to a local message repository and give CP
information about how to select messages in that repository during initialization
using the ASSOCIATE MESSAGES or MSGS configuration file statements. For
more information, see the z/VM: CP Planning and Administration book.
COMPonent compid
tells CP the component identifier to use when issuing one of the messages in
the local message repository. The variable compid is a 1- to 3-character
alphanumeric string. For example, the component ID for the system message
repository (z/VM) is HCP, which is, by default, the last message repository in
the search list. For more information, see Usage Note 1.
REPlace
tells CP to replace the current list of entry point names and external symbols
that are already associated with this local message repository with the list
specified after the EPNAME operand.
Note: The order that you specify the entry points and external symbols is the
order in which CP will search them.
Following
tells CP to add the specified entry point names or external symbols to the end
of the list of existing entry point names and external symbols that are already
associated with the specified local message repository.
Note: The order that you specify the entry points and external symbols is the
order in which CP will call them.
Preceding
tells CP to add the specified entry point names or external symbols to the
beginning of the list of existing entry point names and external symbols that are
already associated with the specified local message repository.
