Hi

There are 6 types of messages:

A (Abend)

E (Error)

Information

Status message

W (Warning)

X Termination with short dump

Message if the text displayed with the message

one of the Syntax : MESSAGE ID id TYPE mtype NUMBER n.

Where ID is the Message ID

mtype is type of message

N is number of message in the ID..

Depending upon the conditions in the pgm this can be used for the Information purpose .

Hope this Helps.

Thanks
