Dave,

Coming from a mainframe background, I can relate to your problem ;-)
Unfortunately, on the iSeris (AS400) your limited to the System
Operator's Message Queue, the Joblog or a Diplay Device (Requestor).

>From the manual:

The location of the output data is dependent upon the type of
program initiation as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Method of       Mnemonic-Name Associated   Mnemonic-Name    UPON Phrase
Initiation      with SYSTEM-CONSOLE        Associated with  Omitted
                                       REQUESTOR

BATCH       System operator's message  Job Log          Job Log
            queue

INTERACTIVE System operator's message  Workstation      Workstation
            queue
---------------------------------------------------------------------

When I need to do something like this, I just add an additional
print file to the program (like QPRINT) and WRITE the output to it.
If your not concerned with creating page headers, overlow, etc.
then this is a very quick way to accomplish what you want in just
a few lines of code in the program...

If you find a solution using DISPLAY - I would sure love to see it :)

Terry
