Are you running the command only from a command line? It might not

The OP has apparently already concluded that the "error" is sent only
as a Diagnostic, so FWiW:
If "command line" implies [QCMD] Command Entry, then there is
unlikely a difference between an invocation from a program and the
Command Entry panel, because the QCMD request processor should react
quite similar to the program. What sometimes is a source of confusion
however, is that a "MENU" might change the message to a diagnostic due
to Move Program Message processing [effectively from the CPP and to
QUIMNDRV; the "move" changes the message type to Diagnostic], or a [Work
with] "Panel Group" command line might send an additional copy of the
Escape message as an Informational message [from QUOCMD to QUOMAIN]. In
the latter case, the original message would likely remain, showing the
original Escape message; F10=Messages from F1=Help, or DSPJOBLOG would
show the two messages.
