        you can do this several ways, one that springs to mind is to use
something like
OVRPRTF FILE(QPQUPRFIL) PRTTXT('Select parms here') 
before you run the query.
Havn't tried this so cannot vouch if it works ok..

Alternatively, you can as suggested change the message text ID.
Best way to do this is not to change the actual system message but use an
override instead:
CRTMSGF    MSGF(QTEMP/QQRYMSG )
ADDMSGD    MSGID(QRX1905) MSGF(QTEMP/QQRYMSG) MSG('Select parms here')
OVRMSGF    MSGF(QQRYMSG ) TOMSGF(QTEMP/QQRYMSG )  
now run query
again, havn't tried this so cannot vouch if it works ok..
