If the API returns the message data (the standard/original API Error DS did
not contain the msgdata) you can use the Retrieve Message API and do what
you want. It's been a while since I've used the raw API, but with RPG
xTools, the GetMsgText() procedure will do what you want.
The API it uses is: QMHRTVM

Subject: merging message data and description to get text

If I use an API and find the standard API error data structure populated
with some error message ID and data, I want to merge the message
description ("Library &1 not found" or whatever) and the message data
"SOMELIB   " (or whatever it may be) and get the message "Library SOMELIB
not found" that I could display to the user.

Is there an API I can send the message ID and data and get back the
formatted text of the error message? It's easy to SEND that message, but
can I just get the text?

Thanks.
brian.
