Syntax Description

ON: specifies that messages will be detected. This is the default and recommended value.

Details

The MSG statement determines whether or not remote host messages from the operator or other users are ignored while SAS/CONNECT is in effect.

The effect of the MSG statement is somewhat different for 3270 connections. When MSG is set to ON, any remote host messages cause the Break window to appear. You can switch to the remote host display to view the message. When MSG is set to OFF, any messages are discarded, the Break window is suppressed, and the link attempts to recover automatically.
