... or to make it easy:

1. Copy the message file into a Spoolfile using the CL command DSPMSGD.
2. Copy the spoolfile into a physical file by using the CL Command CPYSPLF.
3. Read the generated physical file with either native I/O or embedded SQL.

Hi,
Thanks for the post. But, I want to send a message to the display screen when some validation is not satisfied. I want to pick this message from MSGF. Can you please suggest me how i can pick the message by using Message ID. Shall I have to use any Indicators for this.

Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep Kumar.

Re: How to Use MSGF in RPGLE

The easiest way to retrieve a message out of a message file is to use the CL command RTVMSG.

Generate a small CL-Programm that receives the message Id and returns the message text, which will be called from your RPG program.
In your RPG program you can move the message text for example into a message line that was defined in your DDS and switch the appropriate indicator *ON. Or use the CL command SNDPGMMSG (or the appropriate API) to send the message to an external message queue.

Hi,

Give ur msgid in ERRMSGID and spcify an indicator. Turn on that ind when validation fails.

What example? There are examples on this site? The next thing you'll be telling me is that there is a "search" function. You guys think we will believe anything...

The search function is now off limits to everyone except those not needing it.....
