)MSG—Event Specifier of MSG Rules

The following is the format for coding the MSG event definition section:

)MSG msgidspec  [MLWTO] [NOOPSLOG] [SUPPRESS]

msgidspec

Specifies the message ID. Follow these guidelines when specifying the character string:

• Specify one to ten characters of the message ID.
• The string cannot contain embedded blank spaces.
• If the MLWTO keyword is not specified, you can use the wildcard (*) character. For example,
  • IEC* matches IEC234, IECTL56, IEC6705, and any other event identifier containing an IEC prefix.
  • IEC*05 matches IEC05, IECD05, IECDE05, and so on.
  • *05 matches any message ending with 05.* alone matches all messages.
• Lowercase letters are acceptable, but the AOF converts them to uppercase for event testing.

MLWTO

(Optional) To be specified when interrogating a multi-line message and each data line is needed to be stored in stemmed msg.text.n variables for further manipulation. Rule will process after the end-line of the multi-line message is received. Wildcarding is not allowed if utilizing this keyword. Therefore the msgidspec must be that of the complete message id of the multi-line message. For more information see Execution Considerations for Msg Rules for details on processing Multi-line messages.

NOOPSLOG

(Optional) Prevents a message (specified by msgidspec) from appearing in the OPSLOG. Specify the NOOPSLOG option before you enable a rule.

SUPPRESS

(Optional) Only valid if the MLWTO optional keyword is utilized, and causes the multi-line message to be suppressed.
