Re: Qsysopr message program.

1)  Have the program delete the messages it's already processed.
2)  Have the program log to a table all of the messages it's processed, and
tell it to skip ones in this table.  Perhaps the KEYVAR will help.
3)  Is there an api which will let you alter a message in some way so you
can store a 'sent flag' on it?

We have a paging software that, among other things, monitors message queues
and doesn't duplicate the ones already sent.  No source, therefore I can't
figure out how they do it.  They do not delete the message.

I have a CL program that monitors Qsysopr for certain messages, then emails
the appropriate person that the message should go to .

The problem I have is that on one machine we take it down to a restricted
state for its nightly backups.  Then when the machine starts back up, it
starts the message program.  Then it reads all messages in qsysopr that it
has not read before, and sends out the emails from machine startup.    I
don't want to recieve all the past messages, I would like the program to
start, but not read any of the past messages and only new ones that come
in.   I don't wan't to monitor for all the startup messages, because then
when they are sent another time I won't recieve them.

Any suggestions?


Here is a sample of how the program works.

LOOP:       RCVMSG     MSGQ(QSYS/QSYSOPR) WAIT(*MAX) RMV(*NO) +
                         MSG(&MSG) MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) MSGID(&MSGID) +
                         MSGF(&MSGF) MSGFLIB(&MSGFLIB)

    /* MESSAGES TO IGNORE */
             IF         COND(&MSGID = 'CP13710') THEN(GOTO +
                          CMDLBL(LOOP))
             IF         COND(&MSGID = 'CPC1236') THEN(GOTO +
                          CMDLBL(LOOP))

   /* FORMAT THE SUBJECT */
 IF         COND(&MSGID = '       ') THEN(CHGVAR +
             VAR(&EMSGID) VALUE('GSSASDEV-MESSAGE'))
ELSE       CMD(CHGVAR VAR(&EMSGID) +
             VALUE('GSSASDEV-MSG ID:' *BCAT &MSGID))

  /* EMAIL THE MESSAGE */
SNDDST     TYPE(*LMSG) TOINTNET(('xyz@GOOD-SAM.COM')
             ('abc@GOOD-SAM.COM' *CC)) DSTD(&EMSGID)
             LONGMSG(&MSG)

GOTO LOOP
