Send a *STATUS message to the *EXT queue of the job. Behaves like various query components e.g., "Query running. nnnn records selected" sort of thing.

EXACTLY what I was looking for. I just wrote a dummy "M" in CL, that called "S" with dummy parameters, then alternated DLYJOBs with SNDPGMMSGs to display a couple of dummy status messages. Worked as advertised.

Thanks.

Now I just have to work out how to put the equivalent QMHSNDPM calls into the real "M" (which is in MI). I'm sure I already have some QMHSNDPM calls in there somewhere. . .
