/MESSAGES=(option[,...]) Positional qualifier. Specifies the destination of all DSR error messages. To indicate a specific destination, use one or both of the following options: OUTPUT Messages are sent to the output .MEM file. USER Messages are displayed on the terminal (SYS$ERROR). If you specify both options, separate them with commas and enclose the list in parentheses. The default, /MESSAGES=(OUTPUT,USER), sends messages to the output .MEM file and displays them on the terminal.
