Searching for a Message File

When a message file has not been overridden, the message file name and library specified (at the time the message file was sent) are used to search for the message file from which the message description is retrieved.

When a message file name is overridden but the message identifier is not contained in the overridden file, the message file name and library specified are also used to search for the message file.

The system search depends on whether you specify the message file library as either *CURLIB or *LIBL. The following describes the search path for *CURLIB and *LIBL:

If the message file is found, but does not contain a description for the message identifier, the message attributes and text of message CPF2457 in QCPFMSG are used in place of the missing message description.

If the message file was not found, the system attempts to retrieve the message from the message file that was used at the time the message was sent.

Note:
A message file may be found but cannot be accessed due to damage or an authorization problem.
