I like your article regarding Email Notification of System Messages. Fortunately I am also working on the same kind of project called "Monitors". Where we have to fire emails on the following occasions. If there are more than a "limit" number of spool files in an outq Or More than a limit of jobs in a job queue. Or Some specific jobs should be always in run mode Is there any way to check these kinds of things using as400 messages. Thanks

I do not think monitoring of QSYSMSG messages will be suitable for you. As far as I know, there is no easy way to set a limit to the number of entries for any queue (be they output queue or job queue) which, when exceeded, will trigger the sending of a message to QSYSMSG. You may be better off coding a program that would periodically check the number of entries for a set of queues, compare these numbers against a table, and fire off the warning messages if the given limits are exceeded. I hope someone else in this forum can prove me wrong. If so, you may have your solution, and I would have learned something new.

To all the folks who may have downloaded my sample code, I recommend that you add this message-id in your list of monitored messages: CPI1468 System work control block table nearing capacity You should not normally see this message, but if you do, you have cause to worry. If you see this message more than once within an hour, it is panic time!
