EXTOL executes ADDCNNMBRS via a message description. Creating message descriptions on the iSeries is not the easiest in the world. The message description needs to include 20 variables.

Instead of creating the message description by hand, we can use the command below:

ADDMSGD MSGID(USR0016) MSGF(MHSEXT/EXUSRMSG) MSG('ADDCNNMBRS command - MHSEDIPROG/CLMINPIM) SECLVL('ADDCNNMBRS PREFIX(R) CNNLOGNBR(&13) FLIB(MHSEDIPROG) PFILES(CLMINPIM) MBROPT(*ADD) TEXT("&20/&19/&18")') FMT((*CHAR 6 0) (*CHAR 6) (*CHAR 6) (*CHAR 10) (*CHAR 1) (*DEC 3) (*DEC 3) (*CHAR 10) (*CHAR 1) (*CHAR 10) (*CHAR 10) (*CHAR 10) (*DEC 7) (*DEC 9) (*DEC 9) (*DEC 11) (*CHAR 1) (*CHAR 10) (*CHAR 10) (*CHAR 6) (*CHAR 10))
