Re: SNDPGMMSG and CPD2409

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  The *EXT "External message queue of the job" is specified on the 
TOPGMQ().  That implies the OS does not consider the *EXT message queue 
to be a non-program message queue [externally visible as a named *MSGQ 
object] like those which are specified on the TOMSGQ() parameter.  The 
CPD2409 concurs, stating that "INQUIRY messages cannot be sent to 
_program message queues_ other than (*EXT)."

  The External message queue for a job is in my experience, the most 
typical place for inquiry messages to be sent; at least in applications 
not implementing a "chat" feature.
