Change the message logging level from a character-based interface

Use the character-based interface to change the message logging level.

Change the message logging level on a job description

To change the message logging level on the job description, follow these steps using the character-based interface:

  1. At the command line, type WRKJOBD (Work with Job Descriptions), and press F4 (Prompt).
  2. For the Job description prompt, specify the name of the job description, such as MYJOBD.
  3. For the Library prompt, specify the library that contains the job description you want to change, and press Enter.
  4. On the Work with Job Descriptions display, select option 2 (Change) in front of the job description you want to change, and press Enter.
  5. On the Change Job Description display, page down to the Message logging.
  6. For the Message Logging prompt, type 4 for the Level parameter, 00 for the Severity parameter, *SECLVL for the Text parameter, and press Enter.
  7. You must end and then restart the server for the change to take effect. At the command line, type ENDTCPSVR *MYSERVER, where MYSERVER is the server you want to stop. Then, type STRTCPSVR *MYSERVER to restart the server. Be aware that if you only type ENDTCPSVR, the default *ALL will end all of the TCP servers. If you need to end and restart a server that is not started with the STRTCPSVR command, you need to specify different commands. See the server table for the appropriate commands to end and restart those servers.

  1. At the command line, type CHGJOB, and press F4 (Prompt).
  2. For the Job name prompt, specify the name of the job you want to change, such as MYJOB, and press Enter. See the server table to find the job name associated to your server.
  3. On the Change Job display, page down to Message logging.
  4. For the Message Logging prompt, type 4 for the Level parameter, 00 for the Severity parameter, type *SECLVL for the Text parameter, and press Enter.
