# Message Format

Messages may be either displayed on the operator console or written to a local (DDMSG) file.

Two slightly different AFP message formats are used. The majority of messages have the following format:

    AFP-nnnn-ss  message-text [additional information]

In this format, nnn is the message number, ss is the severity code (in hexadecimal), message-text is the text of the message and [additional information] is where message content varies according to variable information placed into the message.

Some messages may have a slightly different format, as follows:

    AFP-nnnn-ss xxxxx message-text [additional information]

The additional information provided in this format is the xxxxx, which is the Adabas System Coordinator daemon node (in the Adabas network).
