VTAM Printer Support messages

This topic provides a listing of messages for the VTAM Printer Support (VPS) feature.

Overview of message return codes

In the VTAM Printer Support messages, message return code information includes the message class, Online and Batch return codes, and system action.

Message classes

A single letter indicates the class of the message.

Message class types

Class	Message type	Behavior
I	Non critical	Both the Batch and Online return code equals zero (0). A response is not required.
P	Prompting	Both the Batch and Online return code equals zero (0). You must respond to the prompt.
E	Non counted error	Batch return code does not equal zero (0)--usually four (4). Audit type default is MS, but may be overridden.
C	Counting error	Has a Batch Return code not equal 0 (usually 4) Audit type defaults to ER, but may be overridden.

E (non counted) error messages and C (counted) error messages indicate either that an error has occurred or that the message provides debugging information.

Online and Batch return codes

The Online and Batch return codes are also provided. Each Model 204 message has an Online and a Batch return code associated with it. Each code is a number from 0 to 255. Higher return codes generally indicate more severe errors. The lowest batch return code for an error class message is 4. The job return code at the end of a run is the highest of the individual message return codes received during the run.

System responses

The automatic responses of Model 204 to the condition that generated the message are described in the following table.

Model 204 responses to error conditions

Action	Meaning
AUDITAD	Writes the message to the audit trail as an AD line. An AD line contains information about the run, the status of the Model 204 file, the user password table, or messages sent from a host language program with the IFERR call.
AUDITER	Writes the message to the audit trail as an ER line and treats this as a counting error: that is, after a specified number of these errors, the user’s session is terminated. The number of allowable errors can be reset with the ERMX parameter. The ERMAX default is 30.
AUDITMS	Writes the message to the audit trail as an MS line. An MS line includes information related to user logins, logouts, file and group opens and closes, and procedure includes.
AUDITRK	Writes the message to the audit trail as an RK line. An RK line includes information on system initialization and the record of a call to a Host Language Interface function.
CANCEL	Cancels the user’s request.
DUMP	Generates a dump of the Model 204 region, partition, or virtual machine.
ECHO	Displays the line that caused the error.
NOPREFIX	Suppresses the M204.nnnn message prefix.
NOTERM	Writes the message to the audit trail, but does not display the message on the user’s terminal.
OPR	Displays the message on the operator’s console.
LAST	Saves message in user’s last error buffer.
SNAP	Generates a snapshot (or dump) of a part of memory for a Model 204 run. It contains information about the user server area, Model 204 system control, and the data and I/O buffers.
SAVE	Stores the message in the error message table. These messages are serious errors and include those messages that accompany snaps. The number of messages saved in the error message table is determined by the value of the ERRSAVE parameter. The system manager or system administrator can display the error message table by issuing the VIEW ERRORS command.
