Hi Experts,
We are writing a script where on the Receiver end of channel, whenever the channel goes into "Retrying" state because of Seq Number mismatch, the script would reset the sequence number of receiver channel to the sequence number of Sender channel.
my question is whether MQ error logs on the Receiver end of channel , would tell the sequence number of Sender channel . i.e. would the error message in the logs would be
Sequence number xxxxx of sender channel , is mismatch with seq number yyyyy of receiver channel.
would that be the error message?

This is a bad idea.
You can *easily* lose messages this way.
Your channels should not go out of sequence on a regular basis. If they are, then someone is taking specific action to cause this, or your network admins have configured things to drop long running connections.
You need to identify and fix these issues, not say "Oh, this is an easy fix, I'll just ignore any errors and make it work again."
As to what the error message would be, and what it would contain, then 1) look up the error messages in the InfoCenter and read the descriptions of them. 2) try to create the problem on a test setup and see what happens... 3) fix the real problem instead of trying to guess how to put a bandaid over it and lose messages...

Yes, it's like the old aircraft engineers joke:
Pilot tech log entry: Evidence of oil leak on landing gear leg.
Engineer response: Evidence removed.

Jeff, you are right, reason for this is in the midnight hours if we have a situation where the channel goes out of sync and no one is there to support manually, then the automated script at receiver end would reset the channe.

If a channel goes out of sync, something is very wrong.
And you can't really troubleshoot it the next morning. Unless your script also does a lot of log gathering and etc.
Again. Figure out why the channel is going out of sync.
It shouldn't.

Which means that, when you come into the office in the morning, the channels are running but a mob of business users with pitchforks and burning torches will want to know where their messages are.
As others have said, a channel going out of sequence should never happen in a properly working environment. If it happens (even overnight) frequently enough that it's worth scripting then something is wrong at your site.

I think I might take Ohio off my travel plans then....still a bit too much like the 18th century.

Yeah, yeah, we had budget problems.
The problems were no budget and no budget (a problem so serious I thought it deserved to be mentioned twice)
