Re: QSYSMSG (was:Re: Help w/ AS/400)

Incidentally there are several other message queues with highly specialized 
contents such as QTCIP (I might not be remembering that spelling quite right) 
... Display Message Queues *ALL & explore to see which are populated & which 
are not.

I use QSECOFR for some things we want to remember longer term for convenient 
reference like
When was the last time we installed some PTFs & which were they?
What was the special name again for the NT administrator to connect by other 
than CA or regular sign on?
What is the name of the document that has instructions for doing M36 
configuration? (going away real soon since V4R5 about to be installed by me)

I created my own specialized message queues ... we have this scenario in 
which certain tasks are run regularly but not on a fixed schedule ... so 
someone will ask me, out of the blue "Al, when was the last time we ran 
______ X ______" for all facilities & my answer might be "Well I DO run that 
every few months, but I can't give you the specific date of the last time I 
ran it"  

Well for those programs I have tweaked to send to a specialized message 
queue, I can go look & say "We did it middle of February & seeing how long 
ago that was, I think I need to run it again within the next week."
