Hi Dale In your CL program you can monitor for the message and then use the RCVMSG command to retrieve the key (if I remember correctly, it’s the KEYVAR parameter). An alternative method would be for your out of hours job to add an entry to the system reply list (ADDRPYLE) to add the “I” [...]

How to operating with Multiple Member PF in RPG ?
Hi Alok The secret is to override the member name before opening the file in the RPG program. The easiest way to do this is to have a CL program that accepts the PGMNAME parameter and have that perform the override before calling the RPG program. For example, something along the lines of: PGM PARM(&PGMNAME) [...]
