I thought that since the existing display has a message subfile on line
24 that it might be interfering with the status messages.  I am just
trying to send a *STATUS message to the *EXT message queue.  The
existing display is RSTDSP = *YES.

I am calling the QMHSNDPM API via a prototyped subprocedure in a service
program.  I use the message subfile for normal error messages, but did
not want to be manually executing a format with the message subfile just
to see the status. 

This same subprocedure and service program work as desired when I call a
program from the command line.  The status message is displayed on line
24 while the program is loading data, then the programs subfile is
displayed.

Subject: RE: Sending Status message with QMHSNDPM blanks whole screen

I am trying to send status messages to a program display using the
QMHSNDPM API.  When I send the status message, it blanks the whole
screen and displays on line 24.  

You do not say what you are trying to do this in. If it RPG, sending a
status message has nothing to do with a message subfile. To put a
message in a message subfile, the message has to be sent to the program
message queue associated with that level of the program and then a write
must be done to the subfile and then it pulls out the messages from
program message queue. 

If you just want to display a message on a status line, are you sending
the message as a message type *STATUS to the *EXT message queue?
