Ugh, too fast on the Send button.

The command I am designing uses an RPGLE program as a CPP; within that RPG
program, error conditions may occur that I want to be able to issue escape
messages for.

As I am examining my requirements and refreshing my foggy memory, I think
this will be best accomplished using the Send Program Message (QMHSNDPM)
API.

Sorry for posting before I thought this through.
