Use this panel to specify whether to generate symbolic information for debugging.

The following table lists and describes the message options.

Table 1. Tool Settings - S12Z Linker > Messages Options
Option	Description
Don't Print INFORMATION Messages	This option allows you to disable the INFORMATION messsges. The `-W1` command inhibits the INFORMATION message reporting.
Don't Print INFORMATION or WARNING Messages	This option allows you to disable the printing of INFORMATION or WARNING messages. The `-W2` command suppresses all messages of the type INFORMATION or WARNING.
Create err.log Error File	You can use this option to enable the burner to create the err.log error file. The `-WErrFileOn` command creates or deletes the `err.log` file when the application is finished. When the errors occur, 16-bit window environments use the `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. By default, this checkbox is checked.
Create Error Listing File	You can use this option to create an error listing file. The `-WOutFileOn` command creates an error listing file. This option controls whether an error listing file should be created. The error listing file contains a list of all messages and errors that are created during processing. By default, this checkbox is checked.
Cut File Names in Microsoft Format to 8.3	This option truncates the filename to the 8.3 format. The `-Wmsg8x3` command cuts the filenames in Microsoft Format to 8.3. 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.
Set Message File Format for Batch Mode	Use this option to set the message file format for batch mode. The `-WmsgFb(-WmsgFbi,-WmsgFbm)` command sets the message file format for the batch mode. This option starts the Compiler with additional arguments (for example, files and Compiler options). If you start the Compiler with the arguments (for example, from the Make Tool or with the appropriate argument from an external editor), the Compiler compiles the files in a batch mode. No Compiler window is visible and the Compiler terminates after the job completion. The options available are: Verbose Format Microsoft Format (default)
Message Format for batch mode (e.g. %"%f%e%"(%l): %K %d: %m\n) (-WmsgFob)	This option modifies the default message format in batch mode. The `-WmsgFob` command sets the message format for batch mode. The supported formats are (assuming that the source file is `X:\Freescale\mysourcefile.cpph`): `%s`: Source Extract `%p`: Path (example, `X:\Freescale\`) `%f`: Path and name (example, `X:\Freescale\mysourcefile`) `%n`: filename (example, `mysourcefile`) `%e`: Extension (example, `.cpph)` `%N`: File (8 chars) (example, `mysource` ) `%E`: Extension (3 chars) (example, `.cpp`) `%l`: Line (example, `3`) `%c`: Column (example, `47`) `%o`: Pos (example, `1234`) `%K`: Uppercase kind (example, ERROR) `%k`: Lowercase kind (example, error) `%d`: Number (example, C1815) `%m`: Message (example, text) `%%`: Percent (example, %) `\n`: New line `%"`: A " if the filename, the path, or the extension contains a space `%'`: A ' if the filename, the path, or the extension contains a space
Message Format for No File Info (e.g. %K %d: %m\n)	Use this option to set the message format for no file information. If there is no file information available for a message, then the `<string>` in the `-WmsgFonf<string>` command defines the message format string to use. The supported formats are: `%K`: Uppercase kind (example, ERROR) `%k`: Lowercase kind (example, error) `%d`: Number (example, C1815) `%m`: Message (example, text) `%%`: Percent (example, % ) `\n`: New line `%"`: A " if the filename, if the path or the extension contains a space `%'`: A ' if the filename, the path or the extension contains a space
Message Format for No Position Info (e.g. %"%f%e%": %K %d: %m\n)	This option allows you to set the message format for no position information. If there is no position information available for a message, then the `<string>` in the `-WmsgFonp<string>` command defines the message format string to use. The supported formats are: `%K`: Uppercase kind (example, ERROR) `%k`: Lowercase kind (example, error) `%d`: Number (example, C1815) `%m`: Message (example, text) `%%`: Percent (example, % ) `\n`: New line `%"`: A " if the filename, if the path or the extension contains a space `%'`: A ' if the filename, the path or the extension contains a space
Maximum Number of Error Messages	This option allows you to set the maximum number of error messages to be displayed. The `<number>` in the `-WmsgNe<number>` command sets the number of error messages to be displayed.
Maximum Number of Information Messages	This option allows you to set the amount of information messages that are logged. The `<number>` in the `-WmsgNi<number>` command specifies the maximum number of information messages allowed.
Set Messages to Disable	This option allows you to disable the specified messages. The `-WmsgSd<number>` command sets a message to disable, where `<number>` is the message number to be disabled, e.g., 1801.
Set Messages to Error	This option changes a message to an error message. The argument `<number>` in the command `-WmsgSe<number>` sets the specified message number to be an error, e.g., 1853.
Set Messages to Warning	This option sets a message to a warning message. The argument `<number>` of the `-WmsgSw<number>` command, sets the specified error number to be a warning, e.g., 2901.
Set Messages to Information	This option sets a message to an information message. The argument `<number>` of the command `-WmsgSi<number>` sets the specified message number to be an information, e.g., 1853.
