RE: Qsysopr message program. -- MIDRANGE-L

I tried it with Wait(0) as Wait(*no) does not exist.  All it does it rcv the 
message queue and if there is no message, it does it again. It never sends a 
CPF message.

Before your LOOP, add a loop that does the exact same thing,
but does not wait if msgs are not available WAIT(*NO) maybe?
I forget.  Add CPF0000 right after it going to LOOP.  Then
go back and do it again.  Something like this (untested code):

CLEARQUE:     RCVMSG     MSGQ(QSYS/QSYSOPR) WAIT(*NO) RMV(*NO) +
                         MSG(&MSG) MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) MSGID(&MSGID) +
                         MSGF(&MSGF) MSGFLIB(&MSGFLIB)
              MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000) DO GOTO LOOP

              GOTO CLEARQUE

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

...

What this should do is receive any messages already on the queue
when the program starts but not do anything with them.  When there
are no more messages available (the CPF0000 should be triggered?)
you start your regular cycle.

Make sure if you do it this way you debug it, this is totally untested.

Subject: Qsysopr message program.


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
