RE: SNDPGMMSG and CPD2409

The command's help restrictions (2.) mention message queue and nonprogram message queue. I guess they view a program's or job's message queue as not really being a message queue since a persistent objet doesn't for them.

Restrictions:
1. The SNDPGMMSG command allows a message of up to 512 characters
to be sent. However, if the message is sent to the *EXT
message queue of an interactive job, only 76 characters are
shown on the Display Program Messages display. If the message
is sent to a user's, work station's, or the system operator's
message queue, the Display Message (DSPMSG) command allows all
512 characters to be displayed.
2. This command can only send inquiry messages (specified by
MSGTYPE(*INQ)) to one message queue or to two nonprogram
message queues if one of the queues is *HSTLOG.

When I compile this I am getting a CPD2409
Message . . . . : Specified message type not valid with specified

message queue.
Cause . . . . . : ESCAPE and CMD messages cannot be sent to the external

program message queue (*EXT). INQUIRY messages cannot be sent to program

message queues other than (*EXT).
Recovery . . . : Change the message type or change the program queue
name.
