Handling warning messages

If errors occur during QMF initialization (or after issuing the CONNECT command), you might see this message on the QMF Home panel:

Warning messages have been generated

Errors that cause this kind of message do not stop QMF. They indicate that QMF is having a problem loading or reading any of the following:

• Command synonym table
• Function key definitions table
• Resource control table (for governor exit routine)
• User edit exit routine
• Governor exit routine
• Module level trace control

For command synonyms, function keys, and resource control tables, ensure that:

• The user has the SQL SELECT privilege for that table. If this might be the problem, issue an SQL GRANT statement.
• The table conforms to the proper structure:
  • The structure for command synonym tables is shown in Customizing QMF Commands
  • The structure for function key tables is shown in Customizing QMF Function Keys
• All rows of the table contain valid data. If this might be the problem, see:
  • Entering command synonym definitions into the table for information on valid command synonym definitions
  • Entering your function key definitions into the table for information on valid function key definitions
• All rows in the tables are unique.

To view the information in the trace data, first press the Help key to display a panel containing the message number. Then browse or print the user's trace data. Search the trace data for the numeric portion of the message number to see information about the error.

OS/390 concerns

More information about the error is logged in the user's trace data. In TSO and native OS/390, the trace data is stored in DSQDEBUG. In CICS, the trace data is stored in a transient data queue named DSQD, unless you changed the type or name using the DSQSDBQT or DSQSDBQN program parameter when you started the QMF session.

VM concerns

More information about the error is logged in the user's trace data. In CMS, the trace data is stored in DSQDEBUG.

VSE concerns

The trace data is stored in a transient data queue named DSQD, unless you changed the type or name using the DSQSDBQT or DSQSDBQN program parameter when you started the QMF session.
