Execute Universal Message Translator from z/OS

The following figure illustrates the execution of Universal Message Translator from z/OS.

//S1 EXEC PGM=UMET,PARM='-table tabledd -level verbose'
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.UNV.SUNVLOAD
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*
//CEEDUMP  DD  SYSOUT=*
//TABLEDD  DD *
"*ERROR*"       8
"*WARN*"        4
"*ERROR*"       7
/*
//SYSIN    DD *
THIS IS AN ERROR MESSAGE RESULTING IN RETURN CODE 8.
/*

The -table option points to the DD statement TABLEDD, which defines the return codes to end this process based on matching text. The first column defines the text to match; the second defines the return code to set if the matching text exists in the SYSIN DD.

The -level option turns on messaging. All messages will be written to SYSPRINT. The SYSIN DD statement points to the text file to be interrogated.

PARM Options

The PARM options used in this example are:

Option	Description
-table	Translation table file name.
-level	Level of messages that will be displayed.
