Narrative:

During takeoff roll; and just prior to saying '80 KTS thrust set;' we received a master caution stating 'engine #2 compressor vane.' because I did not feel any yaw with the aircraft; did not hear any noise; or notice any abnormal engine indication; and we were now in the high speed regime; I chose to continue the takeoff. The takeoff was normal and we followed the ECAM. I then made sure the PNF had the aircraft and I looked at the aircraft manual. The manual says 'land at nearest suitable airfield' but the ECAM did not. We leveled off and slowed down. I verified with the first officer that the irregular did say land at nearest suitable airfield. Once verified; I notified all agencies and departments as well as flight attendants and landed uneventfully at ord. After landing; I saw the flight manager in ord to make sure I had covered everything. To my surprise; I was told of the third stage clapper problems or engine problems in general. My 2 questions are: 1) why is the information about the engines not being put out to the line? And 2) why doesn't the ECAM state 'land at nearest suitable airport' like other ecams.

Narrative: DURING TKOF ROLL; AND JUST PRIOR TO SAYING '80 KTS THRUST SET;' WE RECEIVED A MASTER CAUTION STATING 'ENG #2 COMPRESSOR VANE.' BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL ANY YAW WITH THE ACFT; DID NOT HEAR ANY NOISE; OR NOTICE ANY ABNORMAL ENG INDICATION; AND WE WERE NOW IN THE HIGH SPD REGIME; I CHOSE TO CONTINUE THE TKOF. THE TKOF WAS NORMAL AND WE FOLLOWED THE ECAM. I THEN MADE SURE THE PNF HAD THE ACFT AND I LOOKED AT THE ACFT MANUAL. THE MANUAL SAYS 'LAND AT NEAREST SUITABLE AIRFIELD' BUT THE ECAM DID NOT. WE LEVELED OFF AND SLOWED DOWN. I VERIFIED WITH THE FO THAT THE IRREGULAR DID SAY LAND AT NEAREST SUITABLE AIRFIELD. ONCE VERIFIED; I NOTIFIED ALL AGENCIES AND DEPTS AS WELL AS FLT ATTENDANTS AND LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AT ORD. AFTER LNDG; I SAW THE FLT MGR IN ORD TO MAKE SURE I HAD COVERED EVERYTHING. TO MY SURPRISE; I WAS TOLD OF THE THIRD STAGE CLAPPER PROBS OR ENG PROBS IN GENERAL. MY 2 QUESTIONS ARE: 1) WHY IS THE INFO ABOUT THE ENGS NOT BEING PUT OUT TO THE LINE? AND 2) WHY DOESN'T THE ECAM STATE 'LAND AT NEAREST SUITABLE ARPT' LIKE OTHER ECAMS.
