I need a way to retrieve messages from a message file and merge the MSGDTA values into it.

I have a requirement to modify a program that uses messages from a message
file to display errors. The program is old and was cloned from an
interactive program that displayed messages. It is now a batch program that
sends the messages to nowhere.



I need to retrieve the message description and merge in the replace values
for &1, &2... where the MSGDTA exists.



I would like to use the SQL function



Select Message_TEXT from QSYS2.MESSAGE_FILE_DATA but need to find a way to
replace the &1, &2... with the real values.



Any Ideas?



TIA,



Darryl Freinkel
