RE: If MSGTYPE has *NEXT or *PRV specified, MSGKEY is required.

John,

Let me ask you a question...

What message is causing your program to fail? Not your vendor's program
but your program.

Thanks for the responses Chuck,

I did try changing the pgmq to *SAME, and it crashed just the same way.

And uh, I'll be the first to admit that my cl is rusty and I kinda
blunder
thru messaging (and other things) to (eventually) get results. <g>

Even after correcting the MsgKey and KeyVar issue, consider that when a
RCVMSG receives no message, the received parameter values including the
key value are blank. Attempting to receive a message by that key or
relative to that key, will invariably lead to CPF2410.

But traversing the messages [from the last and those previous] in the
*EXT [external] program message queue would seem to be futile for a
message that would have been signaled to the program message queue of
the active program, to the PGMQ(*SAME). That is to say, the CPF1002 for
the failing ALCOBJ will be sent to the CL program itself, not to the
external message queue.? Unless I have totally forgotten about or have
never understood how the message handling feature functions, the current
approach referencing PGMQ(*EXT) seems awry.? Though more likely, I
believe that as I had suggested previously, the spooled joblog to show
the "To program" information would best be reviewed to determine how the
message might best be retrieved.

Regards, Chuck
