The KDCDEF generation tool logs the defined parameters on SYSLST (BS2000 systems) or on stdout (Unix, Linux and Windows systems). It also outputs UTM messages relating to execution of the program, with message numbers ranging from K400 to K549. Apart from UTM messages K401, K513 and K514 all KDCDEF messages are output both to SYSLST and to SYSOUT or to stderr and to stdout. UTM messages K401, K513 and K514 is output only to SYSOUT or stderr.
On Unix and Linux systems KDCDEF uses NLS message catalogs to output messages.
UTM messages relating to incorrect statements are preceded by the number of the incorrect statement. The openUTM manual ”Messages, Debugging and Diagnostics” lists all UTM messages together with information on the corrective actions to be performed.
