SNDMSG using QCMDEXC

[Guest.Visitor]

You can't use CL-style variables there; it's literally trying to execute the OvrCmd string. Instead, concatenate 'SNDMSG MSG(' with the MsgText with ') TOMSGQ(OAMSGQ)' so that QCMDEXC sees this in OvrCmd: SNDMSG MSG(MsgText) TOMSGQ(OAMSGQ) If the MsgText contains blanks, you may need to add quotes to both ends, so that the OvrCmd looks like this: SNDMSG MSG('MsgText') TOMSGQ(OAMSGQ)

I'm sending a message to an ASYNC from an ILE pgm using the SNDMSG command. It will not let me use a variable built in the program to send the message. How can I get around this? The code is posted. The message said that &MSGTEXT was not a usable variable with the command. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Erik

simply change the eval statement to say: eval ovrcmd = 'SNDMSG MSG(' + MSGTEXT + ') TOMSGQ(OAMSGQ)' This will give the variable ovrcmd the correct command string needed
