Messages in batch input
In batch input, as in dialog processing, messages may be converted to another message type depending on the point of calling, for example "I" to "S" during PBO or "W" to "E" during list processing.
A message is not displayed, but instead is written to the batch input log by the (converted) message type as follows:
- Messages of type "S" are written to the log and the program is continued.
- Message of types "I" and "W" are written to the log and the program is continued. The user input Enter, which is required for continuing the program, is generated automatically.
- Messages of types "E" and "A" are written to the log. The current program is cancelled, whereupon a database rollback was executed in a message with the type "A". The status of the current batch input session is set to "processed with errors". Processing of the session is subsequently continued with the next program.
- Messages of type "X" runtime error with associated database rollback. The status of the current batch input session is set to "processed with errors". Processing of the session is subsequently continued with the next program.
