Re: How is a message key supposed to be used with SNDRPY -- MIDRANGE-L

Rob, it's just an example. I am helping a customer that wants to send auto
replies vie email/sms to MSGW using SNDRPY and the key value, no matter
where it's retrieved from.

Joe answered the question, thanks Joe. Converting to hex isn't an issue, I
was just making sure I wasn't missing something.

Unless, of course, one is still writing/maintaining applications for
obsolete versions of the OS.

Yeah, it took me a while to work through that one. I also use a loop to
spin through all QSYSOPR messages looking for a specific message. That
requires using the same key and then passing back in to RCVMSG with
MSGTYPE(*NEXT); it's quite the adventure.

I have not been able to find that value with a traditional green command
like DSPMSG. However, you can get it from the DB2 service
MESSAGE_QUEUE_INFO. It's the MESSAGE_KEY column.

Thanks, Joe.

So I was really confirming if I needed the hex value or not. It
appears I do. :) Odd that the value is 4 char and you need to use a

hex value.

Here's a followup... when using SNDRPY manually, where would one find
the message key to enter there otherwise? I couldn't find it anywhere
in the message/job info just working with the job/messages.

Brad, once you get the hex value into a four-character CL field, you
then do this:

SNDRPY MSGKEY( &KEYVAR ) MSGQ( QSYSOPR ) RPY( 'G' ) +
RMV( *NO )

This sends a G to the message in question. The one example I have is
entirely CL, so I do a RCVMSG with KEYVAR, but the concept should be
the same.

I am looking into the job apis and want to send a reply to a job in
MSGW using SNDRPY.

The Message Key required on SNDRPY is 4 char, and so is the message
key returned from QUSRJOBI:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/apis/WMAttrD
esc.htm

But, the 4 characters returned are basically garbage and I can only
use SNDRPY if I use the hex value of the key value vs the actual text

value..

ie:

SNDRPY MSGKEY(x'00003E90') MSGQ(QSYSOPR) RPY('C') RMV(*NO)

works great..

SNDRPY MSGKEY('???°') MSGQ(QSYSOPR) RPY('C') RMV(*NO)

Doesn't work (obviously)

Am I required to use the hex value for SNDRPY? I haven't been able
to

find

much at all on these values and how they are supposed to be used.

Thanks!
