Generates a preprocessor diagnostic message.
%[label:]... NOTE (message [, code]);
message is a character string expression whose value is the required diagnostic message. code is a fixed expression whose value (in a range of 0 to 16) indicates the severity of the diagnostic. If code is omitted, 0 is assumed.
Description
The %NOTE statement lets you generate a preprocessor diagnostic message of specified text and severity.
The output takes the following format:
The character after the second ":" is I, W, E or S and is controlled by the code parameter to %NOTE with 0 = I, 4=W, 8=E, 12 or greater = S.
A code of 16 (the maximum) causes immediate termination of the preprocessing.
