Understanding CA OPS/MVS Messages › Message Variable Data

Message Variable Data

Many messages contain variable data. The two types of variable data are local and built-in.

Local variable data is information specific to a particular message. The definitions for local variables can be found in the description of each message in the Message Reference.

Built-in variable data is drawn from information that is always available to messages. The following are the names and definitions of these variables:

The following format is used:

CSECTNAME+OFFSET

Note: This is equivalent to cs+of. See below.

a2

The address at which the module that called OPSNMG (the message module) was called.

The following format is used:

CSECTNAME+OFFSET

This is equivalent to cs+o2. See below.

cs

c2

The CSECT name of the module that indirectly called module OPSNMG.
