How Many Messages Print

The following table identifies options on the PROFILE that control the number of times messages print:

PROFILE Option	Type of Error or Format	System Default
HD=	Horizontal (H) or vertical (V) input buffer dump format	V
EE=	Invalid numeric data	25
SE=	SELECT/BYPASS logic errors	25
ME=	Invalid numeric match-key errors	25
PE=	Program check in user procedure module	0
IE=	Program check in user input module	0
None	Match-file out-of-sequence errors	25

Note:

For information about how to control printing messages, see Error-Handling Options.
For more information about PROFILE options, see the CA Culprit for CA IDMS Reference Guide.

Message Termination

When CA Culprit reaches the default or user-supplied limit for a particular type of error, it prints a message and continues to print messages of other types of errors until one of the following occurs:

All error limits are exceeded
The run or report terminates
CA Culprit reaches the end of the file

For example:

NUMBER OF MATCH KEY NUMERIC ERRORS HAS EXCEEDED error-limit
MESSAGES SUPPRESSED UNTIL END OF FILE
