Operands

MSG-ID = <alphanum-name 1..7 with-wild>
In addition to the values that can be specified for the MSG-ID operand in batch jobs and procedures, the message code can be defined in fully or partially qualified form in menu mode.
The first three characters of the seven-character message code (message class) must always be letters. The asterisk (*) can stand for between one and seven characters.

Example

Valid specifications for <alphanum-name 1..7 with-wild> are:
*, A*, AB*, ABC*, ABC0*, ABC00*, ABC000*

MSG-ID = *INTERVAL(...)
Defines a message range.

FROM = <alphanum-name 1..7 with-wild>
Specifies the first message code of the message range. The seven-character message code may be fully or partially qualified, the first three characters, however, must always be letters (message class). The asterisk (*) can stand for between one and seven characters.
Difference compared with the operand in batch jobs and procedures; in batch jobs and procedures, the message code must be fully qualified (FROM = <name 7..7>).
