The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I am working on a "WRKACTJOB" like display which will only show
jobs in "MSGW" status. This is so that the support guys will not
have to wade through all the other hundreds of jobs that they will
not have to worry about.
I have found ways to create the same functionality for all the
important options that are available on "WRKACTJOB" - except one. I
have not yet found a command or an API that gives me the function
to see the message and enter the reply (same as option 7 on
WRKACTJOB).
Any ideas on how to go about this?
I see Bruce has indicated that VRM610 makes this much easier (in so
far as you can get the message queue and message marker but you still
have to write all the message handling and screen code).
The message queue and message marker are stored in the job's Work
Control Block. This, of course, requires system-state to access at
security levels above 30. This still leaves you having to write the
message handling and screen code yourself.
IBM's 7=Display message function uses the QWCSDSMR program to
encapsulate all the screen and message stuff. It would be very nice
if this, or something like it, were made available as an API.
However, QWCSDSMR as it currently stands suffers from two problems:
1) It relies on the existence of specific UIM variables
2) It is a system-domain program
If you use UIM for your screen handling you can supply the variables
by defining them in your UIM and populating them with the job
information. Then define option 7 in UIM to invoke QWCSDSMR. On
security levels above 30 this will fail because UIM will not invoke
system-domain programs (usual domain/state errors) so you need a
piece of user-domain/system-state glue code (CL will do) that UIM
will invoke and the glue code can invoke QWCSDSMR.
Easy eh?
Now that VRM610 provides easy access to the necessary message detail
this would make a nice utility to encapsulate all the message
handling and screen processing.
