Re: Message Processing

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you accounting for the fact that another program (called 'QCMDEXC') is
in-between the message sender and receiver?  I know QCMDEXC will propigate
escape messages to it's caller, but I don't know about *COMP.

In fact, I don't know if I've EVER tried to receive a *COMP message.
Maybe I have and I just can't remember it.  (that happens!)

Have you trying monkeying with which call stack entry you're sending to?
All you say is "it's the right one".

If all else fails, there's an API that you can use to get the data out of
the job log.  That's often the only solution.
