Or just use QSYS/QUSCMDLN as your Attention program and skip all the messing with stuff.

Or just create a proxy command

You don’t need to duplicate the whole of QCPFMSG and you don’t need to put the library into the system library list for your job.

What you can do is create a message file in your own library and duplicate the CPX2313 message ID which you then modify.

In the initial sign-on program for your user profile, you simply add the line:

OVRMSGF MSGF(QCPFMSG) TOMSGF(mylib/mymsgf)

When the system attempts to send a message from the QCPFMSG message file it will check the overriding file first and if it doesn’t find the message it reverts back to the original QCPFMSG. That way you only need your version of CPX2313 with the WRKJOB in it.

All the best

Thanks for all your help. It looks like I have come up with a solution. I do not like the idea of changing CPX2313 for 2 reasons: 1) It is global and this is not something I want everyone to have. and 2) I don’t like messing with IBM’s QSys objects-You sneeze at the wrong time and you might have to reload the operating sysem.

But here is what I did. In that new local system library I created I used CRTDUPOBJ to duplicate CPFMSGF and in this copy of the messagefile I changed msg CPX2313. When I put this into my system library list I got my command line.

There is another way to use WRKJOB instead of DSPJOB using the *SYSRQS. Use the QIBM_QWT_SYSREQPGMS exit point to enter a program of your choise. The params requested are
PGM PARM(&SRDSPFLAG &SRUSRDTA)

Declare CL variables
DCL VAR(&SRDSPFLAG) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)
DCL VAR(&SRUSRDTA) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(128)

Information about creation exit point programs can be found in the http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?lang=en
select : Exit point Name : QIBM_QWT_SYSREQPGMS
Exit point Format : SREQ0100

To activate the program for only a selected group of users, you have to use the QWTSETPX API per user.
I use it for a lot of things and it is very usefull.
Hope this is of any help for you. Good luck.

The following is an excerpt from the V5R3 memo to users regarding user defined copies of system commands.

“Programs that use customized versions of IBM-supplied commands”

“Some operating system functions that use IBM-supplied CL commands that are not library-qualified in this release may be changed in a future release to specify a specific library of *NLVLIBL or *SYSTEM for the library qualifier. Applications that depend on using their own version of commands instead of the IBM-supplied commands might not work as they had on earlier releases. These applications should be changed to use the retrieve command exit point (QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND) or the change command exit point (QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND) that allows your exit program to get control and possibly change the command that is used.”

I assume this is what is happening in your case. The system is ignoring your version of DSPJOB and defaulting to the system version.
