The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
You could retrieve the message description and scan/replace the &1, &2, etc. keywords or make your own, such as @@KEY1, @@KEY2 to scan/replace.
Seems easy enough.

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