ADDMSGD COMMAND IN AS400

The Add Message Description (ADDMSGD) command describes a message and stores it in a message file for later use. The message description remains in the message file until the file is deleted or until the Remove Message Description (RMVMSGD) command is used to remove it from the file. To change any of the attributes of the message description, such as its message text or severity code, use the Change Message Description (CHGMSGD) command.
