Re: Sending a message to the user

You might want to check settings for User profiles
i have mine set so it sends me a message every time one of my jobs gets to end of job ... this includes stuff in my name from job scheduler I also get a message any time I have a report that finishes printing ... this is extremely useful to me since the high speed printer is in a different place than I am 

Within the CL of whatever runs the program
you can RETREIVE identity of user who is doing the thing
you can SNDMSG to that user
I have some messages sent to QSYSOPR that some job is running that we estimate will take 2 hours 
:

HI I completed a program that sends a report to the outq. We need to tell
the user that the report is on hold, we don't want them coming round all
day long but once a day the operator will print and bring to them.

I haven't done such a message in a while, but was also wondering about
having a window popup or something, is this easily done now on the
Iseries?
if not, is it simply SNDPGMMSG?

Thanks,

Steve
