I have the below REXX Code :

/*REXX TROWMSG: THROW SAMPLE MESSAGE FROMISPMLIB LIBRARY */
TRACE ?R
DS_PREFIX = "T0920KE.PDS.REXX"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "CONTROL ERRORS RETURN"
"ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPMLIB DATASET",
"ID('"DS_PREFIX".MSG')"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'SETMSG MSG(MSG001A)' /* DISPLAY ERROR MESSAGE */

All i want to do is display a message MSG001A which is present in another Library that i have tried to concatenate to ISPMLIB. But I am getting following Error and Message is not displayed..


8 *-* ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'SETMSG MSG(MSG001A)'
>>> "SETMSG MSG(MSG001A)"
+++ RC(12) +++

Please help me solve this...

Advance Thanks..

Hi Enrico,

I searched but Invain. Could you help me to find what is wrong with the Code.

Return Code 12 says - ISPF SETMSG has failed. Panel message has not been found or the syntax is invalid. Return code = 12.

Try renaming the member to MSG00.

That is they way many of our msg libraries are setup.

This way you can put many messages in a single member.

MSG001,A,B,C
MSG002,A,B,C

and so on
