RE: Monitoring messaging

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are at 4.4, should have put that in the original.  I see an MSF exit
point but don't think that is used for local messages.  I thought of adding
monitoring to the receiving and having the monitor automatically add each
sender to this person, but that would add the whole system in a day and I do
not want to do that.

Thanks for the suggestion.

For the SNDMSG you could use the (V4R5 and later) command exits.  They
work on any command.   For QEZSNDMG... much tougher,  I think.  You
can audit object use, but that won't give you the text of the message.
You could write a command exit for the "CALL" command and filter only
the program QEZSNDMG, but I would be concerned about wider system
impacts.

Another thought - The receiving part will give you the sending part.
Part of each message is who sent it.  Is that enough?
