Re: sending an error message back to a user

This sounds like what I'm looking for.  
I think I'll implement this by using QCMDEXC to call a CL that does
as you suggested.

> RTVJOBA SBMMSGQ(&Q) SBMMSGQLIB(&QLIB)
> SNDMSG MSG('...') TOMSGQ(&QLIB/&Q)

This solution combines recommendations from Howard and James. 
Thanks Brian.

PS  Thanks also to Huber for his reply.  As much as I'd like this to be
just a
       hypothetical example, this is how it really is.
