The Retrieve  Reply List Entry  command retrieves  the attributes of  a
specific System  Reply List Entry based on a  Sequence Number.  Because
the command returns variables, it may only be used in a CL program.

The  command does not  perform as fast as  typical Retrieve commands as
it uses CVTRPYLE  to create a  file in QTEMP of  the entire Reply  List
and then reads thru the file for the requested sequence number.

A typical set of commands would be:

             DCL           &MSGID *CHAR LEN(7)
              .
             RTVRPYLE      SEQNBR(20) MSGID(&MSGID)

RTVRPYLE escape messages you can monitor for
