Filter Messages Seen by PPOPROC

PPOPROC is not necessarily interested in every message that could be sent to it. To limit the number of messages PPOPROC has to process, your product uses the message definition table (DEFMSG table), which specifies VTAM message numbers that PPOPROC wants to see.

Very high message rates can occur at the PPO interface. Therefore the more you can decrease the number of messages delivered by the DEFMSG filter, the more efficiently your system will perform.
