RE: Removing a message from the job log

Dean;

For this just do a QMHRCVPM call for the last message, of any type, right after the close cursor if the sqlstt is not 00000. There is no need to "peg" both sides of the message, as there is only going to be one if the close failed.

Vern,

Thanks for the tip. I never would have thought of that option. I'll check it out.

An old but venerable technique is to send a message before a process
with a msg key, do the process, then send another message with a msg
key
- you have to receive both to get the keys. Then you loop between the
keys and check for the ID you want to remove - very fast, cuz it
encompasses very few messages. It doesn't matter where the messages
came from.

Here is a link to the IBM document with how to do this. It has examples
in CL and C - use the C example to see how to call the QMHRCVPM API by
key for this process.

I have an SQLRPGLE program that executes a close cursor instruction

message from the job log when this happens. However, I'm not sure if I can.

When

I look at the details of the message, the from program and to program

are

both QSQRUN4 which is probably below my program in the call stack. I
tried using the QMHRCVPM API to retrieve the message, but no luck.
Can

I

remove this message?

I guess my other option is to prevent the message in the first place.
I

guess I'll look into that as well.
