capture message file

[Anne Quirke]

Hi,

 

Not sure where this question lies (HP or Powerhouse) but someone out there
might point me in a direction

 

HP3000 MPE/iX cognos 7.29 c.9

 

We have a Cobol program (prog1) that creates a message file (msg1), this
message file is read by another Cobol program (prog2) (destructive reads)
and is processed. I was wondering if anybody had come across a way to get a
copy of this message file (msg1) while leaving it to carry out its normal
process and be read by Cobol program 2 (prog2).

 

Here's the catch

 

 We cannot change either of the Cobol programs

 We have to capture msg1 in real time

 We have to leave the data undisturbed so it is processed as normal.

 

Appreciate any thoughts

 

Anne
