Use this panel to specify whether to generate symbolic information for debugging the build target. The following image shows the Messages panel.
The following table lists and describes the message options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Don't print INFORMATION messages (- W1) | Inhibits information message reporting. Only warning and error messages are generated. |
| Don't print INFORMATION or WARNING messages (-W2) | Suppresses all messages of type INFORMATION and WARNING. Only ERROR messages are generated. |
| Create err.log Error file | Using this option, the assembler uses a return code to report errors back to the tools. When errors occur, 16-bit window environments use err.log files, containing a list of error numbers, to report the errors. If no errors occur, the 16-bit window environments delete the err.log file. |
| Cut file names in Microsoft format to 8.3 (-Wmsg8x3) | Some editors (early versions of WinEdit) expect the filename in Microsoft message format (8.3 format). That means the filename can have up to eight characters and no more than a three-character extension. Longer filenames are possible when you use Win95 or WinNT. This option truncates the filename to the 8.3 format. |
| Set message file format for batch mode | Use this option to start the assembler with additional arguments (for example, files and assembler options). If you start the assembler with arguments (for example, from the Make Tool or with the `%f' argument from the CodeWright IDE), the assembler compiles the files in a batch mode. No assembler window is visible and the assembler terminates after job completion. |
| Message Format for batch mode (e.g. %"%f%e%"(%l): %K %d: %m) (-WmsgFob) | Specify additional command line options; type in custom flags that are not otherwise available in the UI. Default value is %f%e:%l:%k:%d %m\n |
| Message Format for no file information (e.g. %K %d: %m) (-WmsgFonf) | If there is no file information available for a message, then <string> defines the message format string to use. |
| Message Format for no position information (e.g. %"%f%e%": %K %d: %m) (-WmsgFonp) | If there is no position information available for a message, then <string> defines the message format string to use. |
| Create Error Listing File | This option controls whether the assembler creates an error listing file. The error listing file contains a list of all messages and errors that occur during processing. |
| Maximum number of error messages (-WmsgNe) | Specify the number of errors allowed until the application stops processing. |
| Maximum number of information messages (-WmsgNi) | Specify the maximum number of information messages allowed. |
| Maximum number of warning messages (-WmsgNw) | Specify the maximum number of warnings allowed. |
| Set messages to Disable | Enter the messages that you want to disable. |
| Set messages to Error | Enter the messages that you want to set as error. |
| Set messages to Information | Enter the messages that you want to set as information. |
| Set messages to Warning | Enter the messages that you want to set as warning. |
