OCL messages have the format: EQQCLxxCtext where:

EQQCL

The message prefix.

xx

The message identifier, which is an alphanumeric value in the range 0–9, A–Z: 00,01,02–09, 0A, 0B–0Y, 10, 11–19, 1A…

C

The message severity code, which can have one of the following values:

I

The OCL messages are written to the OCL output data set, SYSTSPRT, and in the OCL message log data set, if it is allocated in the OCL procedure. The message log data set name is specified in the OCLLOG DD card. The format of an OCL message printed in the message log data set is:

mm/dd HH.MM.SS message

where:

mm/dd

The current month (mm) and day (dd).

HH.MM.SS

SS

The number of seconds in the current minute. It is a number in the range 00–59.

message

The message identifier and text (see the description of OCL messages earlier in this section).

Here is an example of messages in the OCL message log data set:

07/30 13:41:33 EQQCL00I Instruction : INIT VARTAB(&OADID)
07/30 13:41:34 EQQCL02I INIT    instruction executed : RC=0
07/30 13:41:34 EQQCL00I Instruction : SETUPD VAR1 = 'PIPPO'
07/30 13:41:34 EQQCL02I SETUPD  instruction executed : RC=0
07/30 13:41:34 EQQCL00I Instruction : COMPL APPL(TEST01)
07/30 13:41:35 EQQCL02E COMPL   instruction executed : RC=8
07/30 13:41:35 EQQCL00I Instruction : CHKAPPL APPL(TEST02)
07/30 13:41:35 EQQCL02W CHKAPPL instruction executed : RC=4
07/30 13:41:35 EQQCL00I Instruction : IF RESULT = 8 THEN NOP

Here is an example of the messages written in the SYSTSPRT DD card:
