RE: RE: Some fodder for marketing, perhaps

Chuck,

Simply creating the message queue QSYSMSG automatically gets some messages 
that normally appear in QSYSOPR also to appear in QSYSMSG.  However, by 
WRKSYSVAL QUPSMSGQ you can have messages go to a different message queue. 
People often do.  Then they have a cl program that looks something like:

Wait:
RCVMSG ... /* Wait indefinitely for power failure messages */
  /* Got a message */
  RCVMSG ... /* Wait a few seconds/minutes in case it's just a quick power 
burp */
  MONMSG ... DO  /* Time out waiting for power restored message. */
    /* Bring system down in an orderly fashion */
    ...
    GoTo END
  EndDo
  /* got the power restored message */
  goto wait
end:
