STARMSG
.-*MSG----.
>>--STARMSG--+---------+--.---------------.---------------------------------><
'-service-' '-commandstring-'
Purpose
Use the STARMSG stage to write lines from a CP message service. STARMSG
uses
Inter-User Communication Vehicle (IUCV) to connect to a message service
(such
as *ACCOUNT, *ASYNCMD, *LOGREC, *MSG, *MSGALL, or *SYMPTOM). A STARMSG
stage
can be used only as the first stage of a pipeline.
Note: Before issuing STARMSG, you must use the IUCV directory control
statement to authorize yourself to connect to a CP message service.
For
more information about the IUCV statement, see the z/VM: CP
Planning
and Administration book. YOU MUST ALSO ISSUE THE CP COMMAND SET MSG
IUCV TO ENSURE MESSAGES WILL BE PASSED TO THE VIRTUAL MACHINE
THROUGH
IUCV IF A CONNECTION TO THE MESSAGE SYSTEM SERVICE EXISTS. For more
information about the SET MSG IUCV command, see the z/VM: CP
Commands
and Utilities Reference book.
The 2nd sentence in the "Note:" is your first concern.
You must "CP SET MSG IUCV" before using STARMSG.
That should at least get you to the next series of issues/questions:-)

Subject: Help with STARMSG
I need a little help in coding a PIPELINE using STARMSG, not having much
experience with this stage. What I have is an EXEC that sends email
(via MAILIT EXEC). I now wish to capture the messages sent back from
the SMTP server to log. For instance:
* From SMTP: Received Spool File 0028
* From SMTP: Mail delivered to: <[email protected]>
* From SMTP: Mail delivered to: <[email protected]>
* From SMTP: Unable to deliver mail to: <[email protected]>
I tried, as a test:
"PIPE (endchar ?)",
"| STARMSG *MSGALL",
"| CONSOLE",
"? LITERAL +15",
"| DELAY",
"| PIPESTOP"
But never received a response (echoed by the CONSOLE stage), instead I
still received the MSG (as above).
