Re: Problem with MONMSG

I'm trying to monitor for CPF1002 when allocating an object. OS/400 seems to be ignoring the MONMSG Command. Here is the code:

lmp: /* LMP - Location Master File */
alcobj obj((lmp *file *excl)) wait(10)
monmsg msgid(CPF1002) exec(do)
chgvar var(&counter) value(&counter + 1)
if cond(&counter = 60) then(do)
sndpgmmsg msg('Cannot Allocate file LMP')
goto cmdlbl(pmp)

Any ideas why the alcobj command is throwing an exception message CPF1002 when I'm monitoring for it?

I've seen similar things happen, usually the result of my monitoring for the wrong message, something that never reaches the MONMSG, because it gets turned into something else.

Try a CPF0000 MONMSG, just to verify that there's SOMETHING you can MONMSG. Then investigate further from there, by whatever means comes to mind.
