Re: How is a message key supposed to be used with SNDRPY

Thanks, Joe.

So I was really confirming if I needed the hex value or not. It appears I
do. :) Odd that the value is 4 char and you need to use a hex value.

Here's a followup... when using SNDRPY manually, where would one find the
message key to enter there otherwise? I couldn't find it anywhere in the
message/job info just working with the job/messages.

Brad, once you get the hex value into a four-character CL field, you
then do this:

SNDRPY MSGKEY( &KEYVAR ) MSGQ( QSYSOPR ) RPY( 'G' ) +
RMV( *NO )

This sends a G to the message in question. The one example I have is
entirely CL, so I do a RCVMSG with KEYVAR, but the concept should be the
same.

I am looking into the job apis and want to send a reply to a job in MSGW

The Message Key required on SNDRPY is 4 char, and so is the message key
returned from QUSRJOBI:

But, the 4 characters returned are basically garbage and I can only use
SNDRPY if I use the hex value of the key value vs the actual text value..
ie:

SNDRPY MSGKEY(x'00003E90') MSGQ(QSYSOPR) RPY('C') RMV(*NO)

works great..

SNDRPY MSGKEY('???°') MSGQ(QSYSOPR) RPY('C') RMV(*NO)

Doesn't work (obviously)

Am I required to use the hex value for SNDRPY? I haven't been able to

find

much at all on these values and how they are supposed to be used.

Thanks!
