Unless suppressed, Adabas Fastpath messages are displayed on the operator console.
The messages have the following general format:
AFP-nnnn-ss MESSAGE TEXT
where nnnn is the message number and ss is the (hexadecimal) severity code. Certain messages have additional information following the message text.
Console messages can be suppressed using the buffer parameter Message Level. For example, if Message Level is set to 0A, any message with a severity code of 04 or 08 will not be printed.
The following table explains the general meaning of each severity level:
| Severity Level | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 00 | Software AG use |
| 04 | Information only |
| 08 | Echo and confirmation |
| 10 | Warnings |
| 14 | Operator communication failure |
| 18 | Important buffer shutdown messages |
| 20 | Buffer initialization failure reasons |
| 24 | ABEND notification and information |
