For a useful variation, create a message description that has 1st-level text consisting of nothing but the seven-character message ID. E.g.: ===> addmsgd msgid(ABC1001) msgf(myLib/myMsgF) + msg(ABC1001) + seclvl('The real text is here...') When such a message is used in a message field, the 2nd-level text is used automatically. The advantage is that the 2nd-level text can be much longer than 1st-level text and the message field on the screen can be much longer than a single display line. I.e., rather than having four 80-character message fields on consecutive lines, you could have a single 320-character message field that spans four lines. Only one message ID needs to be maintained.
