You can save the captured messages. Saving the messages allows you to reuse

tests. When you use this function, the test automatically stops. Save the
captured messages as follows:

prompting for the name of the message set.
b. Specify the name of the message set in the MESSAGE SET field.
c. Press ENTER to start the saving operation. A message advises you of the
number of messages saved. Only the messages processed are saved.
Narrative messages, for example, are not saved. In the sample panel
above, the RMS messages are not saved.
You can print the captured messages. When you use this function, the test
automatically stops. Print the captured messages as follows:
a. Press F12 and the status becomes CAPTURE STOPPED. An inset appears
prompting for the spooler location.
b. Specify the following:
Name of the spooler location in the LOCATION field. The default is
$S.#RMS.
Number of copies to be printed in the COPIES field. The default is 1.
Width of the printout in columns in the LINE LEN field. The valid
value is in the range 80 through 255. The default is 132.
c. Press ENTER to start the printing operation. Messages appear advising
you of the printing operation.
The messages are printed if a printer is associated with the selected spooler
location. You can use the Guardian spooler utility PERUSE to manage your
RMS spooler jobs. Refer to the Guardian User’s Guide for information on how
to use PERUSE.
