Syntax

ISPMSG=variable-name

Details

The ISPF variables that are specified by both ISPMSG= and ISPCSR= are set by the VDEFINE user exit whenever the exit finds an ISPF variable that has a zero length, or whenever the SAS informat that is associated with the variable finds the value invalid. The SAS VDEFINE user exit identifies variable-name to ISPF as a character variable length of eight, placing it in the pool of functions that are automatically specified.
To display the current settings of your ISPF options, use PROC OPTIONS GROUP=ISPF
