Modify the Message Definition Table: DEFMSG Command

The DEFMSG command lets you control message delivery for solicited and unsolicited VTAM messages. Three delivery destinations can be specified for each message:

• PPOPROC
• LOCAL (that is, to OCS operators)
• REMOTE (that is, systems linked by ISR)

In addition, EDS events can be defined in the DEFMSG table for VTAM messages.

A default class of messages has been pre-defined to the message table and initially set for delivery to all destinations. The delivery options for the default class messages can be altered using the DEFMSG command; however they always remain in the default class.
