Processing, DBUTLTY and SQL Messages

All CA Datacom/DB processing and DBUTLTY messages are numbered and have an identifying prefix in the form DBnxxxxc:

Processing and DBUTLTY Messages

DB

Product code indicating CA Datacom/DB

c

Subsystem identifier as follows:

xxxx

Numeric message identifier

c

Message type indicator as follows is a general guideline because the line between the various types is often a matter of opinion. Once a message is documented with a given type, it is a risk to all users for the type to be changed to another.

  • A - Action
  • C - Critical
  • E - Error
  • I - Information
  • W - Warning

Message Prefix

If you have coded the MUF startup option MUFMSG, certain CA Datacom/DB messages (see MUFMSG in the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide) are prefixed by one or more pieces of information in the format a:b:c:d identified as follows:

a

JOBNAME

b

SVC number

c

MUFNAME

d

CA Datacom/DB numbered message

The z/OS default prints all three prefixes. The z/VSE default does not print the SVC number prefix because the SVC number is meaningless in z/VSE.

Message Suffix

Allows the same choices but the suffix occurs after zero or more spaces after a message.
