About this book

This book lists QMF messages and codes. It is intended for QMF programmers and information center personnel who need to access messages but do not want to start QMF to view them. This book assumes that you are familiar with the basic functions of the QMF product and have gone through the exercises provided in Using DB2 QMF.

QMF provides thousands of message codes and message texts. These messages help you determine whether you have an error, and how to correct the error.

Important:

Because message numbers and texts are subject to change from one release to the next, you should not use these values for application programming purposes.

When an error occurs, QMF normally displays a message number. The format of most numbers is DSQnnnnn, where each n is a digit between 0 and 9. Initialization message numbers have the format DSQInnnn. A brief message always follows the message number.
