Re: sndmsg from rpg working but no message

After much tweaking, I finally have my RPG program calling QCMDEXC and
sending a properly formatted message. I had problems with the length
parm (I had 15s 5, it must be 15p 5). Debug shows I have a properly
formatted command with quotes and everything.

SNDMSG MSG(' Billing batch 1714B entered on 07/14/10 has not
been updated ' ) TOMSGQ(DALE )


After all that work, the message does not appear to be sent.


If I type SNDMSG and prompt at the command line it sends the message.

If I paste the command above and press enter, it never appears in the
message que.

So what am I missing here?

My RPG program is reading a file that has the user name that I put into
the TOMSGQ parm. I suppose I could change it to workstation name and
try sending a break message, but I don't see how that would work any
differently.

Where is the message going to?
