A msgtype statement identifies the type of message
that any following DEFAULT, DEFAULTCMD, JOB, and MSG statements apply
to. The msgtype statement has the following syntax form.
msgtype keyword=value[,keyword=value]
- msgtype
- The message type, which is one of the following specifications:
- keyword
- The parameter name, which is one of the following specifications:
- INTVLTIME
- JOBIMTIME (not supported for msgtype SPECIFIC)
- JOBTHRESH (not supported for msgtype SPECIFIC)
- MSGIMTIME (not supported for msgtype REGULAR and ACTION)
- MSGLIMIT (not supported for msgtype REGULAR and ACTION)
- MSGTHRESH
- SYSIMTIME
- value
- The parameter value.
- For JOBTHRESH, MSGLIMIT and MSGTHRESH: a positive, non-zero integer
count of messages in the range 1 to 999999999
- for INTVLTIME: a positive, non-zero integer time in seconds in
the range 1 to 999999999
- For SYSIMTIME, JOBIMTIME and MSGIMTIME: a positive, non-zero floating
point time in seconds in the range 0.000001 to 16777215.0
Note: - Floating point fractions such as 0.1 might not be stored exactly
because of limitations of the floating point format.
- For msgtype REGULAR and ACTION, the JOBTHRESH value must be less
than the MSGTHRESH value.
- For msgtype SPECIFIC, the MSGLIMIT value must be less than the
MSGTHRESH value.
Syntax rules:
- The msgtype specification must begin in column 1 and must
be separated from the first keyword by a single blank character.
- The keyword and the value are separated by an equal (=)
character. There must be no blank characters on either side of the
equal character.
- keyword=value pairs are separated by a comma. There must
be no blank characters on either size of the comma.
- If value is a floating point number, it does not need to
contain a decimal point unless a fractional value is being specified.
The specifications 1.0 and 1. and 1 are equivalent as are 0.25 and
.25.
- Comment text may follow the last keyword=value pair. There
must be at least one blank character between the value and the beginning
of the comment text. There is no need to preface the comment text
with either an asterisk (*) or open comment specification (/*).
Example:
REGULAR MSGTHRESH=50,JOBTHRESH=20,INTVLTIME=1 comment
REGULAR SYSIMTIME=0.125,JOBIMTIME=0.25
