Message Help

There are three ways to obtain help for the last message the CA ACF2 for z/VM full screen facility issued.

  1. Move the cursor to the third line on the screen and press your HELP PF key.
  2. Enter HELP on the command line, move the cursor to the third line of the screen, press Enter.
  3. Enter HELP Message on the command line.

To receive help for any message, enter:

HElp Message msgid

The value of msgid is the data that appears before the message text. You can normally drop the pgrmid in 4 through 6 places in the message ID. For example, both of the following commands display help for message ACF929E:

HELP MES ACFMFS929E

HELP M ACF929E

To review help information about messages, you must be linked to and have access to the disk that contains the help files. The full screen feature honors EMSG settings of ON, TEXT, and CODE, indicating the type of messages you see and how you see them. If you need information about the help files or message settings at your site, contact your systems programmer.
