Using the SYSCMD Facility › Prefix Messages

Prefix Messages

SYSCMD messages carry several non-text attributes such as jobname. The SYSPARMS command can be used to request the prefixing of several of these attributes to SYSCMD messages, when these are displayed on an OCS console. This prefixing occurs just before display and has no effect on the actual delivery of the messages.

The following message attributes can be prefixed:

• Message time, in the format hh:mm:ss or hh:mm

  To prefix this, use the SYSPARMS AOMPRFTM=YES/HMS/HM/NO command.

• z/OS job name

  To prefix this, use the SYSPARMS AOMPRFJN=YES/NO command.

• z/OS job ID, in the format JOB nnnnn, or STC nnnnn, or TSU nnnnn

  To prefix this, use the SYSPARMS AOMPRFJI=NO/YES command.

• CA SOLVE:Operations Automation message source domain

  To prefix this, use the PROFILE PREFSYS=YES/NO command. This is not SYSCMD facility-specific.

A MSGPROC can see the text as it will be displayed, by using the &ZMPTEXT system variable.
