Synon 2E Exploring messages via SQL

Bitesized post today.

I needed to query the model to see if a particular function was called in second level message text.  I also wanted to see if it was referenced in the message name or the message text just to make sure I tracked down all usages.

The simple solution was to join the two files from the 2E model and do a little check to see if my string (PGM in this instance) was mentioned.

SELECT a.@@MSG, a.MSG, a.TYPOPT, b.SECLVL FROM YMSGDTARFP a LEFT JOIN YMSGSECRFP b ON a.@@MSG = b.@@MSG WHERE a.MSG like '%MYSTRING%' OR a.TYPOPT LIKE '%MYSTRING%' OR b.SECLVL LIKE '%MYSTRING%'                   

For more on the underlying files in 2E, take a look at these posts from many years ago.
