Short messages exist because of limited screen space. If not, contact IBM to correct the long message. >For example, error ISRD003, ISRD008 or ISRE136. First, these are not messages associated to ZERR variables and ZERRMSG is not message ISRZ002. Second, these are cryptic error messages that should be fixed. Third, small message max length is 72. Why doesn't the short message contain both texts. Fourth, these are not messages you want an average user to see. Fifth, I suspect the help screens for these messages probably don't help resolve the problem. >Or error ISRE136: >Long message: The requested line was not found. >Short message: Invalid &ZLPTR It takes 2 seconds to include the short message with the long message. More important, how are these messages interacting with your REXX exec. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
