Re: Is there a way to build a message in a program, retrieving a message from the message file and merging MSGDTA into it?

If you know the MSGID and have the MSGDTA: a combination of SNDPGMMSG and RCVPGMMSG would do.

I have a requirement to modify a program that uses messages from a message
file to display errors. The program is old and was cloned from an
interactive program that displayed messages. It is now a batch program that
sends the messages to nowhere.

I need to retrieve the message description and merge in the replace values
for &1, &2... where the MSGDTA exists.

I would like to use the SQL function

Select Message_TEXT from QSYS2.MESSAGE_FILE_DATA but need to find a way to
replace the &1, &2... with the real values.

Any Ideas?

TIA, Darryl Freinkel.
