Marieke's mail file about TAG reminded me of this. We converted from XA SP1 to XA SP2 in October and discovered by chance that the IMSG format changed. To make things worse, the SP2 manuals I have say the messages are the same- but I may have missed an update. In case your manuals say the same thing as mine, here are the old and new message formats: SP1: * hh:mm:ss Text from rscsid : RDR FILE sfid SENT FROM uid PUN AS nnnn RECS mmmm COPY ppp cl hold keep SP2: * hh:mm:ss Text from rscsid : RDR FILE sfid SENT FROM uid PUN WAS nnnn RECS mmmm CPY ppp cl hold keep Note the WAS instead of AS and the truncated spelling of CPY in the SP2 format. Also note that in SP1 you parsed the messages for the PUN AS nnnn value to get the id of the spool file in your own reader; in SP2 you parse for the FILE sfid value for that information. I think the SP2 format is HPO and VM/SP compatible, so those of you converting from those systems should not have any trouble (with this, anyway).
