I'm not clear on what Al Barsa doesn't like about the suggestion - this is what I do, but I'm happy to bow to Al's knowledge and experience if it's something dim.... I did a CRTMSGF to create a message file in my library called TOOLMSG. I did a MRGMSGF to move in CPX2313 from QCPFMSG, and amended it to look like this: Display Formatted Message Text System: CAM Message ID . . . . . . . . . : CPX2313 Message file . . . . . . . . : TOOLMSG Library . . . . . . . . . : ROBIN Message . . . . : ENDRQS WRKJOB DSPMSG SNDMSG SIGNOFF DSPMSG DSCJOB CMDENT CMDENT is my own command to call command entry. It just takes a single parameter. The command and CPP are: CMD PARM KWD(DUMMY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) PGM PARM(&JUNK) DCL &JUNK *CHAR 10 TFRCTL QCMD ENDPGM You could have the CL display a screen or whatever you needed. My initial program does an OVRMSGF of QCPFMSG to TOOLMSG. Any messages not in TOOLMSG will still be retrieved from QCPFMSG. The statement is: OVRMSGF MSGF(QCPFMSG) TOMSGF(ROBIN/TOOLMSG) SECURE(*YES) As long as the override stays in scope, sysreq-7 gives me command entry and sysreq 3 gives me workjob instead of dspjob. This method is independent of OS releases (although it would be best to check CPX2313 for a change) - I've been running the same code since V3R2. If you have access to News400's site, a better written up version was published under the title "Message File Frivolity" in the December 2000 issue. The site won't let me in at the moment to give the URL. Any questions, please ask. Cheers Robin
