Re: Changing a message ID in a MSGF

years ago when we had a custom message file and a vendor message file,
we used a CL program to add the messages,
that way we could copy messages more easily.

you could write a retrieve and modify routine I suppose...

and for the OP, yes, delete and add works.

hth,

I have a one of our programmers asking if there is a way to change the
message ID in a MSGF. He has copied a message file, and wants similar
messages, but different message ID. The IBM utility that maintains a
message file will only change the text, but does not allow the ID itself to
be changed. The only way is to delete a message, and add a new message.

I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

A feature I would like to see is the ability to COPY a message
description to another id.
