RE: MSGID in PRTF?

Unless something has changed in the later releases of the operating system,
the answer is no it can't.

To get the same results I code a field on the PRTF record and then use a
sub-procedure to retrieve the message text and populate the field within my
program. To make things even easier, I have written a utility that will
look for specific keywords entered as comments that contain the Message ID
and message file and generate the RPG specs needed to load the fields.

For example:

A RPTTITLE 108 13
A* AUKCON(CMW0103 CMSMSGF *CENTRE)

Which then generates:

C* Load the text constants required by the message file...
C Eval RPTTITLE = Centre(RtvMsg('CMW0103' :
C 'CMSMSGF') : %Size(RPTTITLE))

If you'd like a copy of the utility let me know and I'll make a copy
available for download.

All the best

Jonathan

Is it possible to use MSGID (message identifier) in PRTF?
