Re: RTVMSG - 'Text not available for message'

No David, right after the RTVMSG command is issued it checks the value of
&TXT in order to decide from which message file to send the message from.
This is prior to the actual sending of the message (which as I stated does
work correctly and does find the message in the message file).

I'm trying to find how RTVMSG is populating &TXT.

Thanks,

Rob

David, maybe I was miss understood. It works fine my question is why

does

it work? (How does MSG(&TXT) get populated.

For example, if I have message ROB0001 in WFMMSG but not in TFMMSG when

the

program issues the RTVMSG MSGID(&MSGID) MSGF(TFMMSG) MSG(&TXT) how is

it

populating &TXT?

As I said it works but I'm curious as to why?

Just to clarify ... the message is being sent, but the text is saying "Test
not available for message"? Right?

The 'Text not available' message is showing up because the job, that the
message is being displayed in, can't find the message file. The message is
still in the queue, but the actual message 'object' can't be found.

If you fully qualify the message file to a library, the the message will be
found.
