IMSG - Suppression of Session Initialization Error Messages

Warning:
As error diagnosis may become difficult, use this parameter with caution.

This profile parameter can be used to suppress initialization error messages. It can be useful to avoid undesired error messages on the terminal or to the CMPRINT file under batch processing and to avoid the Natural batch termination message NAT9964 with condition code 4, which can influence the execution sequence of the batch job.

Possible settings 1 - 9999 A single or multiple initialization error message numbers separated by commas and enclosed in parentheses, for which the message shall be suppressed.
ON The initialization error messages screen is displayed in case of an initialization error.
OFF No initialization messages are displayed.
Default setting ON  
Dynamic specification yes  
Specification within session no  

Notes:

  1. If IMSG is specified multiple times for various error numbers, all these error messages are suppressed.
  2. The setting of IMSG=ON or IMSG=OFF overwrites any previous individual specifications by IMSG.

Examples:

IMSG=OFF
IMSG=1074
IMSG=(7048,7049,7058)
