RE: Want to plugin some data into retreived msg using message subfile.

The RtvMsg command allows you to specify replacement data.  Each "&1" 
field in the text of the message will be replaced with the appropriate 
data per the message description.

Do a DSPMSGD on some of IBM's messages for an example.  In particular 
the "field data".

For example, CAE0005 (in QCPFMSG on V3R7) has text of: "&1 Date 
entered must be in the format &2.".

The fields are defined as &1 is *CHAR length 8, and &2 is *CHAR length 
8.

When you RtvMsg (or SNDPGMMSG) and specified MSGDTA, then the first 8 
characters will be replaced where &1 is, and &2 is the 2nd 8 
characters.

Fields can be used more than once in a message.  Works pretty slick.

Hi Nagendra,

If I got it right you're using a rtvmsg command to get a message .
Then you want to add variables ?
Can't  you simply do a sndpgmmsg to the program message queue with
messagedata whereby the messagevaribales automatically are filled in 
the
messagetext. After that you do a rvmsg of the programmessagequeue and 
you
have the messagecontents with the variables filled in the proper 
places.
(if that was what you want to do).

You can make a seperate pgm/cmd to execute the 2 commands together.

Bye
