Where are these messages documented and can they be suppressed?

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Resolution

The DC999999 messages are not documented in IDMS. DC999999 is used to deliver messages from an outside source such as XCF messages, LMP Key expiration messages or messages from an external security manager. Most frequently they are messages that originate from an external security package (RACF, ACF2 or Top Secret). IDMS displays these messages with a message id of DC999999. The messages could indicate an error or may be informational only. Examine the text of the message to determine the cause. There may be a message id from the external security package following the task number in the message text. In the above examples, find message id CAS9034E in the Common Services documentation, ACF01137 in ACF2 and TSS7000I in Top Secret.

There are two optional bit settings in RHDCOPTF that can be used to suppress these messages.

• Optional bit 51 will suppress the DC999999 message from appearing in the console and/or user terminal.
• Optional bit 226 will suppress the DC999999 message from appearing in the IDMS log.
