Re: Hint for finding a message ID in QCPFMSG

Barbara's suggestion might be the best - CPF9898, well, when everyone uses that, it is impossible, easily, to know which of them matters.

If you want a tool to look for messages, I have a couple ideas.

1. Get iSphere and use its message file search tool in RDi - wonderful tool!
2. DSPMSGD QCPFMSG for all messages and output to *PRINT - I think there is a "level" parameter - you might not need second level. Then open the SPLF and search away.

To answer your first question, there ARE groupings - I don't think any are publicly documented - if you take that SPLF, you can roll through it and see some of them, I believe.

Roll your own!!

Hello,

QCPFMSG has a considerable amount of messages. Finding something to use in
my own programs is more annoying than finding a needle in a haystack. With
the needle, I can use a magnet which might help a bit…

Is there any particular grouping of messages (similar IDs) documented
somewhere?

At the moment, I'm searching for a message to properly output %status back
to the user in IBM fashion. ;-) Any hints which to use?

Thanks!

:wq! PoC
