The Display  Message  File Attributes  command displays  or prints  the
attributes  of a Message  File.  What  can be of  particular importance
is  to  be able  to see  the CCSID  assigned  to the  file.   The value
determines  if  a Message  Description  is  converted  for  an  Add  or
Retrieve.

See the  help text for  the CCSID field  on the display  for additional
information.

A typical command would be:

             DSPMSGFA      MSGF(xxx)

DSPMSGFA escape messages you can monitor for
--------------------------------------------

None.  Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

   MSGF          The   qualified  name  of  the   Message  File  to  be
                 displayed.   The  library  value  defaults  to  *LIBL.
                 *CURLIB may also be used.

   OUTPUT        How  the  output  should  be displayed.    *  means  a
                 display    appears    if   the    command    is   used
                 interactively.   If the  command is  run in  batch  or
                 *PRINT  is specified,  a spooled  file  named for  the
                 message queue is output.
