Monmsg

What is the MONMSG equivalent in COBOL.
I execute a command from cobol using QCMDEXC API but not sure if the command was executed succesfully. Hos do i check this ...something like MONMSG.

Re: Monmsg

That is a downside to using QCMDEXC. I don't think you can.

I read an article about using the API QCAPCMD instead, but I've never done that myself. I do call a small CL program to execute command when I need to monitor for specific errors, passing back the info and then process accordingly in the CBL program.

Re: Monmsg

I agree with Melissa, its much easier to call a CL program, pass it any necessary parameters along with a return code and then process the results from within your COBOL program.

Re: Monmsg

Cl is what i use in case i need a return code...but just thought why should i include few more objects to my distribution list.

No other solutions?

Melissa's recommendation to use QCAPCMD API is the only alternative that I'm aware of. Here is a link to an example:

Personally, I think the CL call method is the most elegant because it provides far more flexibility

For what it's worth, the article I referred to earlier is at

Like I said, tho, I've never used it, so I'm not any help to you.
