I understand I am responding to a really old message, but I have been stuck on this very issue for the past few days and haven't been getting the best of luck. Unfortunately I have very limited Netview experience, but what am I missing.. why doesn't this work? (We are testing with "job ended" messages since they appear constantly on the master console. The real msgid we would like to change is $HASP050 for spool shortages.) IF MSGID='$HASP395' THEN COLOR(RED); I entered that as a new DSIPARM member, ran the AUTOTBL command and successfully added it to the Automation Table, but the messages on the master console never changed color. I ran a Netview report and verified that the messages were being trapped, but it was as if the COLOR parm simply did not function. (We are using Netview V1R4.) I have also tried suppressing the original message and creating a CNMCLST exec that generated a new WTO message with MSGGFGPA = '00F20000'x (which means "make the message red"), but that also didn't work. The only thing that works is to create the custom message with a descriptor code of 1. Questions: - Why doesn't "COLOR(RED)" work? - Why doesn't MSGGFGPA work? (Would it have something to do with these not being "MDB messages"? The Netview Automation manual says that MSGGFGPA only works on those message types and not others.) - How do I change the color of an existing message without creating a new one? (ansd without using an MPF exit. My supervisor avoids exits for maintenance reasons.) Any ideas?
