Issue/Introduction

Datacom Server mainframe region is receiving many $HASP messages impacting the system spool. How to decrease the amount of messages issued?

Resolution

Issue the Datacom Server OPTIONS console command to see what the current settings are.

1. If Datacom Server tracing is turned on, turn off via Datacom Server startup option or console command to issue TRACEON=NO.

2. If Datacom Server SUPMSG=NO, use SUPMSG=YES (suppress messages) Datacom Server startup option or console command to eliminate half of the DSVnnnnn informational messages.

3. Use JCL /*JOBPARM LINES=nnn statement to override the maximum lines of output default.
Where nnn is a number of lines * 1000.  For example, LINES=999 allows a job to write 999,000 lines of output before JES issues the $HASP warning messages.

Additional Information

By default, SUPMSG=NO, informational messages are written to both the console and to SYSPRINT.
When SUPMSG=YES, messages from the console are suppressed. Informational messages will still be written to SYSPRINT, but will not be duplicated on the operator console.
