try to DMPOBJ on the message file

then goto outq QEZDEBUG

and search for a text string

I was going to suggest a DSPMSGD, which can generate a spool file....but Jamie was quicker off the mark!

Sure that there will be an API option as well....

i do the DSPMSGD to spooled file then do a find in the spooled file. DMPOBJ has alot of clutter i tend to avoid it's rather nasty.

search for a utility called scan message file (scnmsgf). I use it all the time to find the msg I need.

Hi Jack:

got this off the web somewhere ...... could be the one bill is refering to .

I use it to extract menus but it should be ok for message files......If not you can always get your money back

This is the file layout:

*************** Beginning of data *****
     A          R PFREC                
     A            LIB           10     
     A            MNU           10     
     A            MSGID          7     
     A            MSGSEV         2  0  
     A            MSGFIRST     132     
     A            MSGSECND    3000

to run it

call msgfprc parm(msgfile msgfilelib)

Gee I must have recorded keys on my notebook. I could have sworn I didn't post and zip file....LOL

I have that zip on my notebook and install it on any/all client machines I work on, on the QT if needed.

PS: Thnx Jamie
