RE: Sending messages from an RPG pgm

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I never meant to suggest calling the QMHSNDPM API from CL although I see that 
my last paragraph 
could be misleading.  Here is the original:

  "The preferred method is to use the QMHSNDPM API or the SNDPGMMSG command via 
a CL program."

It was meant to be interpreted as:

  The preferred method is to use the QMHSNDPM API (directly) or the SNDPGMMSG 
command via a CL 
program.

That should have been obvious from the earlier statement:

  "Since you need to write the CL program and pay the cost of invoking CL from 
a HLL it would be 
more efficient to call the QMHSNDPM API directly from the HLL."

I shall be more explicit in future.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
