Formatting non-program messages

Hi all,

I'm trying send a message to QSYSOPR as a last resort error message from a 
program which parses incoming vendor data.  I'm using the QMHSNDM API, 
which works great.  I came across a document in the V5R1 InfoCentre which 
mentioned using &N, &P, and &B as newline, paragraph and indented newline 
respectively in the impromptu message data.  I couldn't find mention of 
these codes in the V5R3 InfoCentre, but I thought I'd try them anyway. 
This is only half working.  If I do WRKMSGQ QSYSOPR, the formatting codes 
show up in the message text, making it rather ugly.  If I hit F1 on the 
message to get the message details, everything is formatted nicely.

Am I missing something?  Is this a deprecated feature?  Does anyone have 
any suggestions for formatting messages of this type?

TIA,
Adam
