Hope this question is suitable for this list:
I've been building some commands that are dependant on Validity Checking programs that do things like checking if a member exists. In trying to use the messages associated with a command such as RTVMBRD I found CPF9815 which has the following defined:
SYSTEM: CCSAUS
MESSAGE ID . . . . . . . . . : CPF9815
MESSAGE FILE . . . . . . . . : QCPFMSG
LIBRARY . . . . . . . . . : QSYS
MESSAGE . . . . : MEMBER &5 FILE &2 IN LIBRARY &3 NOT FOUND.
CAUSE . . . . . : THE MEMBER &5 IN FILE &2 IN LIBRARY &3 WAS NOT FOUND. THE
MEMBER SPECIFIED IN THE COMMAND WAS NOT FOUND. IF THE MEMBER NAME IS *N,
THERE ARE NO MEMBERS IN THE FILE.
RECOVERY . . . : ADD THE MEMBER (ADDLFM COMMAND OR ADDPFM COMMAND) AND TRY
THE REQUEST AGAIN.
DISPLAY FIELD DATA
MESSAGE ID . . . . . . . . . : CPF9815
MESSAGE FILE . . . . . . . . : QCPFMSG
LIBRARY . . . . . . . . . : QSYS
DECIMAL VARY
FIELD DATA TYPE LENGTH POSITIONS LENGTH DUMP
&1 *CHAR 0 *NO
&2 *CHAR 10 *NO
&3 *CHAR 10 *NO
&4 *CHAR 0 *NO
&5 *CHAR 10 *NO
As you will have noticed, the message only references message data fields &2, &3 and &5.
I'm a bit confused now. Why are fields &1 and &4 declared as zero length? I presume in this case I should still concatenate my message data into the 30 bytes of &5 &2 and &3.
TIA
