RE: how to place a message on the bottom of the screen

you need to use the SNDPGMMSG command, the MSGTYPE(*STATUS) should do it,
though MSGTYPE(*COMP) may be easier if you're dropping back to OS/400.

Kind regards,

Subject: how to place a message on the bottom of the screen


Hi,

I've defined a cmd that resets the password of a user.
i.e.  Joe User calls in, says "I forgot my password", we run the command
against the user ID, the password is reset, everyone's happy....

I'd like to send notification to the person running the command if the User
ID that was passed in is not a valid user ID.  
I'd like to place the message on the bottom of the screen.  I've tried
SNDMSG and SNDUSRMSG but these require the
person running the command to enter "dspmsg" on the command line.  How can I
get a message to appear at the bottom of the screen?

TIA,
Dave
