<h1 class="topictitle1">Monitor for messages in a CL program or procedure</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>You can monitor for exception messages. Exception messages include
|
||
|
|
escape, notify, and status messages that are sent to your CL procedure's or
|
||
|
|
program's call message queue by the commands in your procedure or program
|
||
|
|
or by commands in another procedure or program. Diagnostic messages cannot
|
||
|
|
be monitored.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>Monitorable messages are those *ESCAPE, *STATUS, and *NOTIFY
|
||
|
|
messages that can be issued by each CL command that can be used in a program.
|
||
|
|
Each IBM-supplied command identifies in its help documentation which exception
|
||
|
|
messages it generates. You can use this information to determine which messages
|
||
|
|
you want to monitor for in your program.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using the <span class="cmdname">Monitor
|
||
|
|
Message (MONMSG)</span> command, you can monitor for one or more messages
|
||
|
|
sent to the call message queue for the conditions specified in the command.
|
||
|
|
You can then use the <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> command to
|
||
|
|
specify that if the condition exists, the CL command specified on the MONMSG
|
||
|
|
command is run. The logic involved with the <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> command
|
||
|
|
is as follows:</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Escape Messages:</strong> Escape messages are sent to tell
|
||
|
|
your procedure or program of an error condition that forced the sender to
|
||
|
|
end. By monitoring for escape messages, you can take corrective actions or
|
||
|
|
clean up and end your procedure or program.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Status or Notify Messages</strong> Status
|
||
|
|
and notify messages are sent to tell your procedure or program of an abnormal
|
||
|
|
condition that is not serious enough for the sender to end. By monitoring
|
||
|
|
for status or notify messages, your procedure or program can detect this condition
|
||
|
|
and not allow the function to continue.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can monitor for messages
|
||
|
|
using two levels of <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> commands:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Procedure level: You can monitor for an escape, notify, or status message
|
||
|
|
sent by any command in your procedure by specifying the <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message
|
||
|
|
(MONMSG)</span> command immediately following the last declare command
|
||
|
|
in your CL procedure or program. This is called a procedure-level <span class="cmdname">Monitor
|
||
|
|
Message (MONMSG)</span> command. You can use as many as 100 procedure-level
|
||
|
|
MONMSG commands in a procedure or OPM program. (A CL procedure or OPM program
|
||
|
|
can contain a total of 1000 MONMSG commands.) This lets you handle the same
|
||
|
|
escape message in the same way for all commands. The EXEC parameter is optional,
|
||
|
|
and only the GOTO command can be specified on this EXEC parameter. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Specific command level: You can monitor for an escape, notify, or status
|
||
|
|
message sent by a specific command in your procedure or program by specifying
|
||
|
|
the MONMSG command immediately following the command. This is called a command
|
||
|
|
level MONMSG command. You can use as many as 100 command-level MONMSG commands
|
||
|
|
for a single command. This lets you handle different escape messages in different
|
||
|
|
ways.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>To monitor for escape, status, or notify messages, you must specify,
|
||
|
|
on the MONMSG command, generic message identifiers for the messages in one
|
||
|
|
of the following ways: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li><samp class="codeph">pppmmnn</samp> <p>Monitors for a specific message. For example,
|
||
|
|
MCH1211 is the message identifier of the zero divide escape message.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><samp class="codeph">pppmm00</samp> <p>Monitors for any message with a generic message
|
||
|
|
identifier that begins with a specific licensed program (<samp class="codeph">ppp</samp>)
|
||
|
|
and the digits specified by mm. For example, CPF5100 indicates that all notify,
|
||
|
|
status, and escape messages beginning with CPF51 are monitored.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><samp class="codeph">ppp0000</samp> <div class="p">Monitors for every message with a generic
|
||
|
|
message identifier that begins with a specific licensed program (<samp class="codeph">ppp</samp>).
|
||
|
|
For example, <samp class="codeph">CPF0000</samp> indicates that all notify, status, and
|
||
|
|
escape messages beginning with <samp class="codeph">CPF</samp> are monitored. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Do
|
||
|
|
not use <samp class="codeph">MONMSG CPF0000</samp> when doing system function, such as
|
||
|
|
install or saving or restoring your entire system, since you may lose important
|
||
|
|
information.</div>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CPF9999 <p>Monitors for function check messages. If an error message
|
||
|
|
is not monitored, it becomes a CPF9999 (function check).</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Generally, when monitoring, your monitor also gets control when
|
||
|
|
notify and status messages are sent.</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition to monitoring for
|
||
|
|
escape messages by message identifier, you can compare a character string,
|
||
|
|
which you specify on the <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> command,
|
||
|
|
to message data sent in the message. For example, the following command monitors
|
||
|
|
for an escape message (CPF5101) for the file MYFILE. The name of the file
|
||
|
|
is specified as message data when the CPF5101 message is sent by a program.</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>MONMSG MSGID(CPF5101) CMPDTA(MYFILE) EXEC(GOTO EOJ)</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>The compare data can be as long as 28 characters, and the comparison
|
||
|
|
starts with the first character of the first field of the message data. If
|
||
|
|
the compare data matches the message data, the action specified on the EXEC
|
||
|
|
parameter is run.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The EXEC parameter on the <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message
|
||
|
|
(MONMSG)</span> command specifies how an escape message is to be handled.
|
||
|
|
Any command except PGM, ENDPGM, IF, ELSE, DCL, DCLF, ENDDO, and MONMSG can
|
||
|
|
be specified on the EXEC parameter. You can specify a DO command on the EXEC
|
||
|
|
parameter, and the commands in the do group are run. When the
|
||
|
|
command or do group (on the EXEC parameter) has been run, control returns
|
||
|
|
to the command in your procedure or program that is after the command that
|
||
|
|
sent the escape message. However, if you specify a GOTO or RETURN command,
|
||
|
|
control does not return. If you do not specify the EXEC parameter, the escape
|
||
|
|
message is ignored and your procedure continues.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following shows
|
||
|
|
an example of a <span class="cmdname">Change Variable (CHGVAR)</span> command being
|
||
|
|
monitored for a zero divide escape message, message identifier MCH1211: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>CHGVAR VAR(&A) VALUE(&A / &B)
|
||
|
|
MONMSG MSGID(MCH1211) EXEC(CHGVAR VAR(&A) VALUE(1))</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>The value of the variable &A is changed to the value of &A
|
||
|
|
divided by &B. If &B equals 0, the divide operation cannot be done
|
||
|
|
and the zero divide escape message is sent to the procedure. When this happens,
|
||
|
|
the value of &A is changed to 1 (as specified on the EXEC parameter).
|
||
|
|
You may also test &B for zero, and only perform the division if it is
|
||
|
|
not zero. This is more efficient than attempting the operation and monitoring
|
||
|
|
for the escape message.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the following example, the procedure monitors
|
||
|
|
for the escape message CPF9801 (object not found message) on the <span class="cmdname">Check
|
||
|
|
Object (CHKOBJ)</span> command: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre> PGM
|
||
|
|
CHKOBJ LIB1/PGMA *PGM
|
||
|
|
MONMSG MSGID(CPF9801) EXEC(GOTO NOTFOUND)
|
||
|
|
CALL LIB1/PGMA
|
||
|
|
RETURN
|
||
|
|
NOTFOUND: CALL FIX001 /* PGMA Not Found Routine */
|
||
|
|
ENDPGM</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following CL procedure contains two <span class="cmdname">Call (CALL)</span> commands
|
||
|
|
and a procedure-level MONMSG command for CPF0001. (This escape message occurs
|
||
|
|
if a <span class="cmdname">Call (CALL)</span> command cannot be completed successfully.)
|
||
|
|
If either CALL command fails, the procedure sends the completion message
|
||
|
|
and ends. </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre> PGM
|
||
|
|
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0001) EXEC(GOTO ERROR)
|
||
|
|
CALL PROGA
|
||
|
|
CALL PROGB
|
||
|
|
RETURN
|
||
|
|
ERROR: SNDPGMMSG MSG('A CALL command failed') MSGTYPE(*COMP)
|
||
|
|
ENDPGM</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the EXEC parameter is not coded on a procedure-level MONMSG
|
||
|
|
command, any escape message that is handled by the MONMSG command is ignored.
|
||
|
|
If the escape message occurs on any command except the condition of an IF
|
||
|
|
command, the procedure or program continues processing with the command that
|
||
|
|
would have been run next if the escape message had not occurred. If the escape
|
||
|
|
message occurs on the condition of an IF command, the procedure or program
|
||
|
|
continues processing as if the condition on the IF command were false. The
|
||
|
|
following example illustrates what happens if an escape message occurs at
|
||
|
|
different points in the procedure: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>PGM
|
||
|
|
DCL &A TYPE(*DEC) LEN(5 0)
|
||
|
|
DCL &B TYPE(*DEC) LEN(5 0)
|
||
|
|
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0001 MCH1211)
|
||
|
|
CALL PGMA PARM(&A &B)
|
||
|
|
IF (&A/&B *EQ 5) THEN(CALL PGMB)
|
||
|
|
ELSE CALL PGMC
|
||
|
|
CALL PGMD
|
||
|
|
ENDPGM</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Depending on where an escape message occurs, the following
|
||
|
|
happens: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>If CPF0001 occurs on the call to PGMA, the procedure resumes processing
|
||
|
|
on the IF command.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If MCH1211 (divide by 0) occurs on the IF command, the IF condition is
|
||
|
|
considered false, and the procedure resumes processing with the call to PGMC.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If CPF0001 occurs on the call to PGMB or PGMC, the procedure resumes processing
|
||
|
|
with the call to PGMD.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If CPF0001 occurs on the call to PGMD, the procedure resumes processing
|
||
|
|
with the ENDPGM command, which causes a return to the calling procedure.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can also monitor for the same escape message to be sent by a specific
|
||
|
|
command in your procedure or program <em>and</em> by another command. This requires
|
||
|
|
two <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> commands. One <span class="cmdname">Monitor
|
||
|
|
Message (MONMSG)</span> command follows the command that needs special
|
||
|
|
handling for the escape message; for that command, this <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message
|
||
|
|
(MONMSG)</span> command is used when the escape message is sent. The other <span class="cmdname">Monitor
|
||
|
|
Message (MONMSG)</span> command follows the last declare command so that
|
||
|
|
for all other commands, this <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> command
|
||
|
|
is used.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> commands apply
|
||
|
|
only to the CL procedure or OPM program in which they are coded. MONMSG commands
|
||
|
|
from one procedure do not apply to another procedure even though both are
|
||
|
|
part of the same program. Online help and documentation for each command contains
|
||
|
|
a list of the escape, notify, and status messages that are issued for the
|
||
|
|
command. You should also keep a list of all messages that you have defined.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The
|
||
|
|
above paragraph is not true for ILE procedures because of the way messages
|
||
|
|
percolate. The system requires MONMSG to handle any escape message that is
|
||
|
|
sent to a procedure. Otherwise, the message percolates up the call stack until
|
||
|
|
it finds a procedure that has a <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> to
|
||
|
|
handle it or hits a control boundary.</div>
