From the main panel of MQ Visual Edit, select Edit, then Edit Message.

In the columns of 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,A,B,C,D,E,F, you can alter the message content by using hexadecimal values. Clicking the Save button will delete the old copy of the message and insert the new updated message into the queue.

Under File:
• Save to Queue - Allows the user to save the message back to the queue (use this function after a change or update to the message content or the message's MQMD header.)

Under Edit:
• Copy - Allows user to copy part or all of the message content to the system's clipboard.
• Find - Provides the user with the ability to search the message content for a specific string.

Under Help:
• Help - Allows the user to display the help files.

In the EBCDIC Data tab, if the user performs a right-mouse click then a popup window will be displayed. The user will be able to do the following:

• Copy - Allows user to copy part or all of the message content to the system's clipboard.
• Find - Provides the user with the ability to search the message content for a specific string.
• Save to Queue - Allows the user to save the message back to the queue (use this function after a change or update to the message content or the message's MQMD header.)
• Close - Close the Message Edit window.

If the entire was not originally downloaded on the main window then when the Message Edit window is displayed, the Get All Data button is enabled. If the user wishes to view the entire message content then click the Get All Data button.

Note: Make sure you ALWAYS click the Get All Data button before saving the message back to the queue. Otherwise, you may only be saving part of the original message and this may not be what you want.

The main panel is updated with the new message from the editing session
