command. The choices and their resulting displays are:
Command

Introduction
Note: CMS messages with a severity of “S” for Severe or “T” for Terminating are
displayed as if the CP EMSG setting was ON, regardless of what CP SET
EMSG setting is in effect at the time. For more information about message
severity codes, refer to Table 1 on page 2. For a description of
xxxmmm####s format, refer to “z/VM Message Format” on page 1.
When you log onto z/VM, the initial setting for the display of messages is
installation dependent. Use the CP QUERY SET command to determine the current
EMSG setting.
Use the message number to refer to the appropriate messages section of this book
for a description of the message.
Note that in some cases, the text of a message is longer than a line on the display
screen. The message text may be divided in the middle of a word and continued on
the next line.
For a more detailed description of the SET EMSG command, refer to the z/VM: CP
Commands and Utilities Reference.
