How to know message id (errorid) in msgfile when error is occurred on screen ? WRKMSF will display ..

Answer / surya siram

That was a good question. In AS400 we dont have any command to find the message id from the message description. But we have third party tool "SCNMSGF" (Scan message file) which is used to find the message id from message descriptions.
