During DB2 operations such as exporting, importing, loading, binding, or restoring data, you can specify that message files be created to contain the error, warning, and informational messages associated with those operations. Specify the name of these files with the MESSAGES parameter.
These message files are standard ASCII text files. Each message in a message file begins on a new line and contains information provided by the DB2 message retrieval facility. To print them, use the printing procedure for your operating system; to view them, use any ASCII editor.
