               Bit  Value    Meaning
               ------------------------------------------
               0    1        Include text of message.
                    0        Suppress text of message.

               1    1        Include message identifier.
                    0        Suppress message identifier.

               2    1        Include severity level.
                    0        Suppress severity level.

               3    1        Include facility name.
                    0        Suppress facility name.

 Comments

 If you do not set message flags, the default message flags for your
 process are used.  Setting the message flags to 0 does NOT turn off the
 message text.  It causes VAXTPU to use the default message flags for your
 process.  To turn off all message text, use the DCL command SET MESSAGE.

 Examples

 1.  SET (MESSAGE_FLAGS, 2);

     Specifies that the message identifier is the only item to be included
     in a VAXTPU message.  (Integer 2 sets bit 1.)

 2.  SET (MESSAGE_FLAGS, 5);

     Specifies that message text (bit 0=1) and the severity level (bit 2=4)
     are to be included in VAXTPU messages.  (Integer 5 sets bits 2 and 0.)
