Though not as direct as a query or DSPPFM, the Retrieve Message (QMHRTVM)
API, documented at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/apis/QMHRTVM.htm,
allows you to retrieve the message text of the *First message of a *MSGF and
then retrieve the *Next message and so on. Scanning the message text of the
retrieved message description could then be done using whatever programming
language you'r familiar with.

Vendor response -- My book, APIs at Work 2nd Edition, provides programs in
RPG and COBOL which provides this type of word scan. In the sample programs
I also use another API to monocase the first level text (and search
argument) so that case differences are ignored in the returned result. I
seem to recall this chapter was published on the net some years ago by MC
Press, but I can't find it offhand.

Is there any way to do something like a WRKQRY or a DSPPFM against a
large Message File ?
