Actually, i did not even know that you can generate messages using the method that was listed. I just do the CICS automation around here and other people do the heavy stuff. However, we did not even start using the SA panels until we were forced into it in release 2 (or maybe 1.3) - we just copied and coded the macros and things were alot simpler.
Nevertheless, the message table entries i used were basically copied from examples in one of the SA manuals and the supplied samples - i just had to plug in my message ids and clist name. The 'DATE,TIME,MESSAGE' Parms you are referring to are just system supplied variables that are being passed to the clist. MESSAGE i believe is the first line of the message text - additional lines have to be obtained with GETMLINE. Again, this method is simpler for me to use since i can just copy one msg from another and control the processing with a clist - but it is good to know about the message generator as well. The commands: AUTOMSG MEMBER=tablename,SWAP (or TEST) can be used to load and test the new msg table. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
