Hi,

alternatively to creating a temporary (or permanent) message file, you can add the correct answer to the system reply list, and change the job, to use that list:

ADDRPYLE SEQNBR(1500) MSGID(CPA32B2) RPY('I')

CHGJOB INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL)

That should work, too.

HTH and kind regards
Daniel

I have an SQLRPGLE program that needs to drop a column from a table. It is
getting an error because of the potential loss of data. I don't want the
job to error, I just want it to drop it.

The only ways I have found to handle this (via google searches) is to create
a temporary message file and set the default for the error message to "I"
but this just seems like an odd way to handle it.

Is there some other way that I and Google are not finding?
