I would like to have a message subfile on line 24 for a program that contains several windows.

A) PgmA displays a panel.
B) A function key causes it to call PgmB.
C) PgmB displays a window. After enter is pressed, it goes through an edit check routine:

PgmB:
1) Error messages are being sent to the *PGMQ.
2) WRITE MsgCtl
3) WRITE Window
3) EXFMT PanelInWdw

The result is that the first message sent gets displayed, but I cannot page up/down through the message subfile. I also cannot get 2nd level help. It's as if the msg subfile is not active.

If I include the WINDOW keyword in the MsgCtl format, the DDS compiler says that the message line is too large, which is true, but I want the subfile OUTSIDE the window!

Playing with the PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keywords did not do the trick. I've also tried combinations of *MSGLIN/*NOMSGLIN and *NORSTCSR/*RSTCSR on the WINDOW keyword.


What am I missing? TIA.
