Messages in background processing

In background processing, messages are not converted to other message types as in dialog processing or batch input, but instead are always handled according to the message type entered in MESSAGE.

A message is not displayed, but instead is written as follows to the background processing log (Joblog) depending on the message type:

• Messages of type "S" are written to the log and the program is continued.

• Messages of type "I" and "W" are written to the log and the program is continued. The user input Enter, which is required to continue the program, is generated automatically.

• Messages of type "E" and "A" are written to the log. A check is then performed and if applicable, the message is handled with error_message. If this is not the case, the message is also written to the log with message number 564 of the message class 00 and current background processing is interrupted. When the message is processed, background processing is continued.

• Messages of type "X" generate a runtime error and current background processing is terminated.
