Re: API to get escape messages thrown by a command?

Mark,

I know you are quite aware that anyone could send message IDs prefixed with
virtually any combination of values (XXX, XXY, XXZ being simple examples).
Give me a command and I assure you (as I'm aware you know) that someone
can send any old escape message ID prefix they want and have it related to
that command. As suggested earlier, I suspect David is out of luck as a
full solution isn't going to happen. The command documentation is a good
start, but I don't see an API coming out claiming to handle every
possibility. APARs would be way too easy.

David,
I would like to understand your "use case" for this request. What
problem(s) are you trying to solve?
In addition to the documentation for each command, including the on-line
help text, CPF and OS/400 and IBMi have always provided MONMSG with the
ability to use a generic pattern (such as CPF9800 or CPF0000) to catch any
errors that were not expected.
So, I would just like to better understand what is behind this
"requirement."
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury

Folks:

Does anyone know if there is an API that will return the escape messages
that can be thrown by a command?

I've used JT400 to retrieve the XML definition of a command, but the
escape messages aren't listed there.

I can get the messages if I retrieve the help text, but it's not as
straight forward to parse.

Thanks!

David
