Re: Changing a message ID in a MSGF

Oh, so you ARE leaving the old message id there. I thought you weren't.

Then I'd consider the trick used for duplicating job schedule entries.

Re: Changing a message ID in a MSGF






We have a standard to use predefined error and informational messages from
a
msgf in our in house written systems. These display a the bottom of
screens,
as well as in QSYSOPR message que. We like to keep the standard of the
first three digits of the message ID equal the system ID so that when we
get
an error, we know which system is throwing it out. So we have a system
that
all the messages in the message file start with ABCnnnn, and have a new
system being written with DEFnnnn. Some of those messages are the same
between systems, so we would like to be able to change the message ID and
one or two words in the description to match the new system. It would
save
some time to be able to copy and then change.

I have to ask: Why?
Their goal is NOT to duplicate an existing message id to a new one and
leave the old one there. Their goal is to duplicate the text to a new
message and remove the old message id. Wouldn't that be like: Let's
duplicate CPF9898 to CPF9868 and remove CPF9898? Mightn't there be any
negative ramifications from not having CPF9898 anymore?

Or, is the problem that someone created a message id that basically says
"All dames are bi...." and your goal is to find out where the blazes

that

is called? If so, simply delete the message description.

Re: Changing a message ID in a MSGF






You would normally use the OVRMSGF command to point to a different
message file. If the message is found in the new file, it will be used.
If not, the message in the original file will be used. You can create
a message file and just put one message in it.

I have a one of our programmers asking if there is a way to change the
message ID in a MSGF. He has copied a message file, and wants similar
messages, but different message ID. The IBM utility that maintains a
message file will only change the text, but does not allow the ID

itself

to

be changed. The only way is to delete a message, and add a new

message.

Thanks!
