Message Identifiers

AAA nnnn S <message text>

The parts of the format are as follows:
AAA
This is the product code. All ABEND codes and messages use the S7M product code that represents the TIBCO EMS Client for z/OS (CICS). Return codes do not include this product code in the message identifier.
nnnn
It is a four-digit number in the range 1001 through 6000, with the exception of ABEND codes (see the following contents).
  • System messages use four-digit numbers in the range of 1001 through 5000. Example: S7M1001E.
  • CICS transaction messages use four-digit numbers in the range of 5001 through 6000. Example: S7M5100E.
  • Return codes use four-digit numbers in the range of 1001 through 1100 without the S7M product code prefix. Example: 1005.
  • ABEND codes use a single digit number in the range of 1 through 9 or a single letter in the range of A through Z. Examples: S7M1, S7ME.
S
It is the message severity code, which is separated from the message text by blanks. The severity code defines the importance of the message.
  • I — Informational. These types of messages are usually advisories or a reply to a request performed by TIBCO EMS Client for z/OS (CICS) users.
  • E — Error. These tell you that something has gone wrong. Action by you is probably required.
  • S — Severe error. These tell you that something has gone seriously wrong. Action by you is required, probably with help from your system support personnel.
