Is this referring to the message header, e.g., the IAZH123E in: IAZH123E One or more checkpoints or new checkpoints are not defined.
? If so, where is this restriction documented and enforced? We've been using VM-style message headers for 15+ years: xxxyyynnnns where: xxx = product ID (granted by IBM) yyy = module ID (issuing module) nnnn = message number s = severity (E, W, I, etc.) Never had a problem with this, which doesn't prove anything, of course. Would like to understand if we're violating some documented restriction! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Ed Jaffe Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2024 12:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: z/OS message code length On 12/18/2024 9:14 AM, ITschak Mugzach wrote: > I saw message codes having length of 7 (IEE*), 8 (most of the > messages) and even 10 (CWWKB*).
