General Information

DO ENDMSG delimits the DO statements processed when multi-line messages, or messages intercepted in command-response mode, are handled.

When multi-line messages or responses are intercepted, the rule is triggered by each intercepted line. However, unless otherwise specified, through a DO ENDMSG statement, DO statements in the rule are not performed until the rule is triggered by the last line of the message or response.

When specific DO statements should be performed each time the rule is triggered by a line of the message or response, insert a DO ENDMSG statement as follows:

• DO statements that should be performed each time the rule is triggered by a line of the message or response should appear before the DO ENDMSG statement. The current message or response can be referenced using the %%$M* System variable.
• DO statements that should be performed only when the rule is triggered by the last line of the message or response should appear after the DO ENDMSG statement. Individual messages or responses within the accumulation can be referenced using the %%$Mn System variable.
