There are a variety of system and server messages available to
assist you, ranging from error messages, to printer messages, to alerts.
The system is shipped with the IBM-supplied message files, stored in the
system library, QSYS: the CPF message file, QCPFMSG (for the
i5/OS™ system
and machine interface messages); and the licensed program message files, such
as QRPGMSG (for RPG messages). It is important before you handle messages
to understand the message types:
- Error messages can indicate simple to complex system, device, or program
errors.
- Alerts provide analysis on hardware or software resources.
