What I neglected to add to my stripped down program was this:

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_QSH_CMD_ESCAPE_MSG) VALUE(Y) +
REPLACE(*YES)

The above tells QSH to send *ESC instead of *COMP, making it something that can
be monitored.

My test program now correctly includes the non-zero return code for an invalid
command. Interesting that I use the MONMSG to catch a QSH0005 when sent as an
*ESC message and needed to add logic to receive it when it was sent as a *COMP
message. When I use a valid command, QSH0005 is still sent as *COMP.

I think I finally have it now. Tomorrow is another day.

Now that you have it...

I'd recommend that you not use STRQSH in the first place in a compiled CL program. Especially if at V5R4, use ILE CL and the QzshSystem() API:

I've been _very_ pleased with results in coding I've done with it. Very easy to get started with.
