The Remove  Message Description 2  command removes  a range of  message
IDs  or all  messages from  a  message file.   The  default  provides a
listing  of the  message IDs that  would be  removed if ACTION(*REMOVE)
was specified.

A typical command would be:

              RMVMSGD2  MSGF(xxx) LOWRNGID(DEF0000)
                          HIRNGID(GHI9999)

A listing  of the  messages would  be made  of those  message IDs  that
would be removed if ACTION(*REMOVE) had been specified.

                 used.

   LOWRNGID      The lowest message  ID to be removed.   The message ID
                 does  not have to exist  in the message  file.  *FIRST
                 may be entered for the first message ID.

   HIRNGID       The highest message  ID to  be removed.   The  message

                 it  is displayed.   To  retain the  spooled file,  you
                 may use  the the System Request  'Cancel' function and
