RE: Error Handling for QCMDEXC -- RPG400-L

Sorry, I did think it strange you wouldn't know the answer.  I guess I wasn't 
following the thread closely enough.

You are right, the message file isn't available so one's hands are tied in 
regards to what can be done with the message information.

That I know.  But how would one programmatically determine that from 
seeing SQL0204 in their joblog, or perhaps a user written message file 
message?  Yes it could be done by scanning all message files on the system 
for that particular message, but my argument was that getting the message 
data back into a 'wordy' format when all your given is the message number 
from the joblog and the exception data can be a bit tricky.  That is why, 
on conditions in which the PSDS is updated, some may prefer QCMDEXC over 
QCAPCMD.
QCAPCMD uses the error data structure
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/apis/error.htm#hdrerrcod
And is missing the data available via the MSGF and MSGFLIB parameters of 
RCVMSG.  Missing these makes it hard to take the exception data and parse 
it down into meaningful information.  Perhaps I need to make a DCR to add 
another structure that also contains the following of RCVMSG:  MSGF, 
MSGFLIB, MSG, SECLVL.  What do y'all think?
Thanks for the tip, but perhaps I've made my point, yes?

Rob,

thanks for the clarification.  The data is there in QCAPCMD.  However it 
involves taking the exception data from the error data structure and 
putting it back into the message (via QMHRTVM) if you want it "wordy". And 

it gets real fun if you don't know what message file to use (like for 
message SQL0204).

Just for the record, it's the joblog information that I think is
important.  Having some of the message text in the PSDS is nice, but a)
the PSDS information is only useful if the programmer does something
with it, and b) sometimes the interesting information is in the second
level text of the message, and that can only be seen from the joblog (or
by receiving the message).
