The %NOTE directive generates a diagnostic message of specified text and severity.
|
| Code | Severity |
|---|---|
| 0 | I |
| 4 | W |
| 8 | E |
| 12 | S |
| 16 | U |
If code is omitted, the default is 0.
If code has a value other than those listed above, a diagnostic message is produced; the resulting system action is undefined.
Generated messages are filed together with other messages. Whether or not a particular message is subsequently printed depends upon its severity level and the setting of the compiler FLAG option (as described in the Programming Guide).
Generated messages of severity U cause immediate termination of preprocessing and compilation. Generated messages of severity S, E, or W might cause termination of compilation, depending upon the setting of various compiler options.
