RE: CL problem

Leif,

If SAY uses SNDPGMMSG  MSG(&TEXT) TOPGMQ(*PREV) then all it will do is send
the message to the program that called it ie the one that you show in your
code segment, lets call it PGMA

If this is running from a menu commandline and you want the message to
display at that command line then you'll need to capture the messages sent
tp PGMA and send them to TOPMGQ(*PREV) which is that commandline interface.
The code below generally works a treat.

   RCVMSG     MSGQ(*PGMQ) RMV(*NO) MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) +  
                      MSGDTALEN(&MSGDTALEN) MSGID(&MSGID) + 
                      MSGF(&MSGF) MSGFLIB(&MSGFLIB)         
   SNDPGMMSG  MSGID(&MSGID) MSGF(&MSGFLIB/&MSGF) +    
                      MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) TOPGMQ(*PRV)          

Insert this after CALL SAY(&RETURN)

I usually declare the various parameters as 

DCL VAR(&MSGID) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7)                
DCL VAR(&MSGF) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)                
DCL VAR(&MSGFLIB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)             
DCL VAR(&MSGDTA) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(80)              
DCL VAR(&MSGDTALEN) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(5 0) VALUE(80)
