Displaying long messages in pop-ups

CICSĀ® Configuration Manager issues both long and short messages. ISPF displays short messages at the top right of a panel, next to the panel title. ISPF usually displays long messages in a pop-up window. However, if a long message is less than the screen width, then, by default, ISPF displays it just below or above the command line.

If you always want long messages in a pop-up window:

  1. Enter the ISPF SETTINGS command to display the ISPF Settings panel.
  2. Select Long message in pop-up.
To move a pop-up window to another location on the panel:
  1. Move the cursor to the top or bottom border of the pop-up window, and then press Enter.
  2. Move the cursor to the desired location of the pop-window, and then press Enter.
