Odp: Re: How tranfer *MSGF to Excel Spread Sheet/PC?

Hi 
I found it simpler to use TAATOOL/CVTMSGF  (Convert message file to DB file 
tool) command and after just transfer DB file to pc by ODBS, MS Query, PC 
transfer or whatever.

Parvez,

You first have to do a DSPMSGD of all of the messages that you want to see
with OUPUT(*PRINT) specified.  You then need to copy the spool file to a
database file using CPYSPLF remembering to use *FCFC for the control
character.  Then simply download the database to your Excel spreadsheet.

This is very tiresome, especially in a high impact development environment.
To get around this, we developed a program that worked better than the IBM
WRKMSGF command - it allows you copy, etc.  The MRGMSGF command comes
someway near to this but it doesn't allow you rename message Ids when
running the command.

Regards

Ian
