MNOTE instruction
The MNOTE instruction generates your own error messages
or displays intermediate values of variable symbols computed during
conditional assembly.
The MNOTE instruction can be used inside macro definitions or in open
code, and its operation code can be created by substitution. The MNOTE
instruction causes the generation of a message that is given a statement
number in the printed listing.

- sequence_symbol
- is a sequence symbol.
- severity
- is a severity code. The severity operand may be
any absolute expression
allowed in the operand field of a SETA instruction.
The term must have a value in the range 0 through 255.
The severity code is used to determine
the return code issued by the assembler when it returns control to the
operating system.
The severity may also change the value of the system variable symbols
&SYSM_HSEV and &SYSM_SEV (see &SYSM_HSEV System Variable Symbol and
&SYSM_SEV System Variable Symbol).
- message
- is the message text. It may be any combination of
characters enclosed in single quotation marks.
The rules that apply to
this character string are as follows:
