Francois, Ok, Now that I understand it better, There is another product, called Connect Direct that does pretty much what you are doing. If you have their (Sterling Commerce) product, have a look at how they do it. They have a message library that contains all the messages that you can get using their product, and if you forget to update the message library, you get a message that the message 'xxxx' could not be found in the message library. If I can remember correctly, the error code is in or pointed too by register 15, but it has been a long time since I have physically programmed. As just said, I would look at the quickref libraries, because unless they have hardcoded it in their programs maybe as a dsect, it should be in one of their libraries, because you can get just about any message using their product.
