The errorDestination build descriptor
option specifies the destination of the diagnostic messages in the
IMS/VS and IMS™ BMP environments.
The error destination is specified as one of the following:
- The IMS transaction code
associated with a BMP program that lists error diagnostics associated
with runtime errors.
- The logical terminal identifier associated with the printer where
the diagnostics are sent. This option is effective at run time only
if the option is specified for the first program in the run unit.
- The default for IMS/VS is ELADIAG, a transaction code for a BMP
utility provided with IBM® Rational® COBOL Runtime Server
for zSeries that prints
the diagnostics.
- The default for IMS BMP is
to write the messages to the file ELAPRINT instead of to a message
queue.
For details on the format of the error record, see the documentation
for Rational COBOL Runtime
for zSeries, which is on
a website referenced in Sources of additional information on EGL.
