Re: Adding commands to stack (F9)?

[Roger Vicker <rvicker@xxxxxxxx>]

Vern,

I think it has something to do with if the message has been marked as
received.
If you get a key on the SNDMSG command and then do a RCVMSG using that
key there
is a parm that allows you to mark it used.

There is a way to send the message as a *RQS type and then when you call
QCMD it
is executed.

I wrote a menu system years ago on the S/38 that did most of this but a
little
different so that it became a "request processor" so that it could be an
INLPGM
and options could be CNLRQS'd with control returned to the menu program.
