The message level value controls the type and number of messages
that the system writes to a job log.
The message level can be one of the following levels:
- 0
- No data is logged.
- 1
- The messages that are logged are only those that are sent to the external
message queue for the job with a severity greater than or equal to the specified
message severity.
- 2
- Logs all level 1 messages, and the following information:
- Any requests that result in a high-level message with a severity level
that exceeds or equals the message severity specified.
- If a request is logged, all of its associated messages are also logged.
- 3
- The same as level 2, and the following information:
- All requests.
- Commands that are run by a CL program if allowed by the log CL program
command's job attribute and the log attribute of the CL program.
- 4
- The following information is logged:
- All requests or commands that are logged from a CL program.
- All messages with a severity at least equal to the specified severity.
This includes trace messages.
- Commands that are run by a CL program if allowed by the log CL program
command's job attribute and the log attribute of the CL program.
Note: A high-level message is one that is sent to the program
message queue of the program that receives the request. For example, QCMD
is an IBM-supplied request processing program that receives requests.
