<h1 class="topictitle1">Interactive job logs</h1>
<div><p>The IBM-supplied job descriptions QCTL, QINTER, and QPGMR all have
a log level of LOG(4 0 *NOLIST); therefore all messages help text are written
to the job log. However, the job logs are not printed if the job ends normally
unless you specify *LIST on the SIGNOFF command.</p>
<p>If a display station user uses and IBM-supplied menu or the command entry
display, all error messages are displayed. If the display station user uses
a user-written initial program, any unmonitored message causes the initial
program to end and a job log to be produced. However, if the initial program
monitors for messages, it receives control when a message is received. In
this case, it is important to ensure that the job log is produced so that
you can determine the specific error that occurred. </p>
<div class="p">For example, assume that the initial program displays a menu that includes
a signoff option, which defaults to *NOLIST. The initial program monitors
for all exceptions and includes a Change Variable (<span class="cmdname">CHGVAR</span>)
command that changes the signoff option to *LIST if an exception occurs:<blockquote><pre>PGM
DCLF MENU
DCL &amp;SIGNOFFDPT TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7)
VALUE(*NOLIST)
.
.
.
MONMSG MSG(CPF0000) EXEC(GOTO ERROR)
PROMPT: SNDRCVF RCDFMT(PROMPT)
CHGVAR &amp;IN41 '0'
.
.
.
IF (&amp;OPTION *EQ '90') SIGNOFF
LOG(&amp;SIGNOFFOPT);
.
.
.
GOTO PROMPT
ERROR: CHGVAR&amp;SIGNOFFOPT '*LIST'
CHGVAR &amp;IN41 '1'
GOTO PROMPT
ENDPGM</pre>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p>If an exception occurs, the <span class="cmdname">CHGVAR</span> command changes the
option on the SIGNOFF command to *LIST and sets on an indicator. This indicator
can be used to condition a constant that displays a message explaining that
an unexpected error occurred and telling the display station user what to
do. </p>
