Brad,

To make a long story short, I'm writing an RPG subprocedure in a service
program to retrieve a message from a message file using the QMHRTVM
API.  I used your SCNMSGF article in News/400 from Feb/1998 as a guide. 
The message text always has an extra character in front of what should
be the actual message text.

A search of the midrange archives found the LSTFFD thread where you
spoke about a change in the API (which was actually a PTF for V4R2 and
prior) specifically addressing the single byte offset.  I downloaded
your SCNMSGF (for V4R3 and later) utility and tried it.  It was correct,
so you obviously got it changed so it works right.  However, there is no
source code so I don't know what you changed, and I can't determine the
problem based on the Infocenter description of the API.

If I change this statement:

     Eval      RtnText = %Subst(MsgText:1:LMsgR)

to this:

     Eval      RtnText = %Subst(MsgText:2:LMsgR)
 
it works.  But that's 'cheating'. <g>  What exactly did you change?

Thanks.
