Editing Existing Messages

OS/400 includes a command that enables you to edit the text and other attributes of an existing message. See the IBM i Change Message Description (CHGMSGD). The OS/400 Merge Message File (MRGMSGF) command can be used to carry out a limited copying of messages. There is also a CA 2E Toolkit command to copy a message description, Copy Message Description (YCPYMSGD).
