Re: monitor downstream

Hi,

you can try to receive the exception message issued with the QMHRCVPM API

https://www.ibm.com/docs/api/v1/content/ssw_ibm_i_75/apis/QMHRCVPM.htm

If you receive the "*EXCP" messages, you get the last issued message first. We use this all the time.

Eventually use a db2 for i service in RPGPGM1 and read the joblog. To make that easier you can send a "marker msg" to the joblog prior to the call to RPGPGM2 so you know where to start looking in the joblog.

Best regards

Stefan

Subject: monitor downstream

Let's say I have an RPGPGM1 that does the following...

monitor;
RPGPGM2();
on-error;
// check %status();
end-mon.

It is my understanding that if RPGPGM2 pgm fails, then our %status will only report a 202 and will not give us the details as to why.
Is there anyway in RPGPGM1, to get the exact reason why RPGPGM2 failed, without adding a msg parm on RPGPGM2 and bubbling the message up?

thanks

Jay
