Displaying messages

CICS PA uses both long and short messages. Short messages display at the top right, on the same line as the screen title. Long messages are designed to display in a pop-up window. However, long messages of less than the screen width can be customized to display just below or above the command line rather than in a window. If you always want long messages in a pop-up window, enter the ISPF SETTINGS command to display the ISPF Settings screen, then select Long message in pop-up as shown in Figure 1.

Messages displayed in a window can be moved to another location on the screen by doing the following:
  1. Position the cursor on the top or bottom border of the message window, and press Enter.
  2. Position the cursor at the location on the screen to which you want to move the message, then press Enter.
