I tied a few error handling options on Saturday. I used QMHSNDPM to send
appropriate error messages, but DFU and STRSQL don't display them. DFU just
reports:

"Message CPF502B was issued."

STRSQL only reports that a Trigger failure occurred.

The "real" error message gets reported in the Job Log, but is not provided
to the user.

I tried using QMHRCVPM to cherry pick the message off the call stack
message queue, but that didn't really work either. The Trigger program
wouldn't know what call stack entry to send to. The tendency is to send to
the message queue of one of the database manager, but those message queues
are deleted before control is returned to the application. If you send to
an *ESCAPE to a queue too high in the call stack, that causes the
application to end, or even the 5250 session to end.

I tried Booth's suggestion of outputting messages to a Window overlay
defined in the Trigger. That works well for 5250 clients such as DFU and
STRSQL. But what about Web and PC application clients?

It appears that *ESCAPE messages issued by Constraints have the same
shortcomings as those issued by Triggers.
