RE: Retrieving a Message from the message file...

>How do I get to the system message files again?
>I need to see what message CPF0939 means.

The job log of the message is THE place to find out what it means, but if
someone has created a trivia contest for you by only noting the message ID,
DSPMSGD is the command you need.  It is not as useful as the joblog because
the substitution variables are not filled in.

If you ever get lost, use the GO command to search for either the verb (GO
CMDDSP) or the noun (GO CMDMSG) that you suspect will fit the bill.  The
naming convention of OS/400 commands is so good that a guess (GO CMDMSGF)
will probably work on the first try.
