Re: MSGF objects

Hi Doug

There is currently nothing I know of to scan a message file. Now you might find it in TAATOOLS, and then you could add it to a user-option.

But you'd need a 5250 session aligned with your RDi session, to see the results, probably.

I'm not surprised that RDi doesn't have this - maybe Frank Hildebrandt is interested in adding it to his iSphere plugin!

I read the other week about using MSGF objects with RDi. I did some tests and I was able to display and sort message files. However, the most helpful feature that I would like with message files, but don't seem to find, is a way that I can scan a message file for specific words, to see if a message I need already exists. I do that now, by creating a spool file of the message file, and using the spool scan function. This works, but, based on capabilities of RDI, I would think scanning the contents of a message file and reporting the results, would be something that could easily be accomplished in RDI.

Does anyone know how to scan a message file with RDI? If there is no current functionality, I will open an RFE.

I am running RDI v 9.0.1.

Thank you,
