Selecting the level of error to be diagnosed
Use the FLAG
compiler option to specify
the level of error to be diagnosed during compilation and to indicate
whether error messages are to be embedded in the listing. Use FLAG(I)
or FLAG(I,I)
to
be notified of all errors.
Specify as the first parameter the lowest severity level
of the syntax-error messages to be issued. Optionally specify the
second parameter as the lowest level of the syntax-error messages
to be embedded in the source listing. This severity level must be
the same or higher than the level for the first parameter. If you
specify both parameters, you must also specify the SOURCE
compiler
option.
Severity level | Resulting messages |
---|---|
U (unrecoverable) | U messages only |
S (severe) | All S and U messages |
E (error) | All E, S, and U messages |
W (warning) | All W, E, S, and U messages |
I (informational) | All messages |
When you specify the second parameter, each syntax-error message (except a U-level message) is embedded in the source listing at the point where the compiler had enough information to detect that error. All embedded messages (except those issued by the library compiler phase) directly follow the statement to which they refer. The number of the statement that had the error is also included with the message. Embedded messages are repeated with the rest of the diagnostic messages at the end of the source listing.
MSGEXIT
suboption
of the EXIT
option.When you specify the NOSOURCE
compiler
option, the syntax-error messages are included only at the end of
the listing. Messages for unrecoverable errors are not embedded in
the source listing, because an error of this severity terminates the
compilation.
