RE: Message text formatting

Walden,

 This might be the answer, although I would really prefer an official
interface.  Thanks!

>My question is if this routine is available to us. 

Ahh, what you want is access to the QMHSCLVL program, it's the one that
displays second level help on messages.

"Available" is a relative term. QMHSCLVL is a system program, not an
API. If you're still running at level 30 then you should be able to call
it directly. Gene Gaunt published this interface back in 2000:

 D Structure       DS
 D   QueuePtr                    16A   inz( %addr( Queue ))
 D                               16A   inz( *loval )
 D   MsgKey                       4A
 D                              220A   inz( *loval )
 D   Queue                       20A   inz( 'QJOBMSGQ  *LIBL' )

 C move ShowKey MsgKey 
 C call 'QMHSCLVL' 
 C parm Structure

But if you're at level 40 or higher this will blow up. Beyond that you'd
have to "hack" a system state program to pull it off. If you're
comfortable w/that and have access to the knowledge (not that hard) then
it should continue to work.
