RE: Hint for finding a message ID in QCPFMSG

Why not using the IBM Service - Message_File_Data for searching through any message file?

Select *
From Table(QSYS2.Message_File_Data(Message_File_Library => 'QSYS',
Message_File => 'QCPFMSG'));
Where Message_Text like '%....%'
or Message_Second_Level_Text like '%....%';


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

I used to use the scnmsgf utility but the sql service to scan the text is much better. It also has the capability to scan every message file on your system. No longer do you have to guess if that rpg message is in which one of these QRNXMSG QRPGMSGE QRPG3MSGE

I realize the OP is a hobbyist using obsolete equipment, and that is his choice. I thought about that too but it would just slay me not to have the latest OS version.

Or use Bradley Stone's SCNMSGF utility.

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
