First, ZERRLM and ZERRSM are irrelevant to the developer when using ISPF
message facility. By design "ISPEXEC SETMSG MSG(" zerrmsg ")" will use ZERR
variables without the user thinking ZERRSM, ZERRLM, ....
Second, the OP had 2 error messages (LMINIT and LMMCOPY) but don't forget the
3rd error message needed that you want displayed to the end user. This is a
very typical situation where ZERRLM is the important ZERR variable. Customers
won't tolerate professional products issuing messages directly to the user
those are meaningless to the user for solving their problem.
ZERRSM is irrelevant. ZERRLM and ZERRMSG are the only variables that are
important to the developer.
