the following code should do what you want.

DCL        VAR(&MSGFLIB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)              
 

RTVOBJD    OBJ(QRNXMSG) OBJTYPE(*MSGF) RTNLIB(&MSGFLIB)   
                                                          
CRTMSGF    MSGF(QTEMP/QRNXMSG)                            
MRGMSGF    FROMMSGF(&MSGFLIB/QRNXMSG) +                   
             TOMSGF(QTEMP/QRNXMSG) SELECT(RNQ1218)        
OVRMSGF    MSGF(QRNXMSG) TOMSGF(QTEMP/QRNXMSG)            
                                                          
CHGMSGD    MSGID(RNQ1218) MSGF(QTEMP/QRNXMSG) +           
             MSG('Unable to allocate a record in file +   
             &7 (C)') VALUES(C)                           
                                                          
CALL       PGM({your RPG program})                                    
                                                          
DLTOVR     *ALL

p.s. pls note that the msgf override is cute in that it will use
the original msgf if it doesn't find a matching msgid.
