Behavior of messages

When you send a message using statement MESSAGE, it must be classified with a one-character message type. The message type defines how the message is displayed and determines the subsequent program flow. Valid message types are "A", "E", "I", "S", "W", and "X". These stand for termination message, error message, information message, status message, warning, and exit message.

The system behavior after a message of a particular type is sent is context-dependent:
