MPFLSTxx (message processing facility list)

MPFLSTxx contains information that the message processing facility (MPF) uses to control:

Message presentation
On certain devices, messages can appear with highlighting, in color, or with added intensity.
Message management
Message management refers to message suppression, message retention, and message processing.
- Message suppression
  A suppressed message does not appear at a console but is written to the hard-copy log.
- Message retention
  The action message retention facility (AMRF) keeps action messages in a buffer area, allowing the operator to request that any action message not acted on be recalled to the screen. In MPFLSTxx, you can identify certain action messages that AMRF is not to retain.
- Message processing
  Use MPFLSTxx to identify messages to be processed either using a message automation subsystem (for example, NetView® or using installation-written exits.
Command Processing
You can specify installation exits that will get control each time a command is issued.
