Re: PWRDWNSYS in CL program

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm reevaluating my entire power handling program(s).

The main power handling program, once it's gotten a CPF1816, meaning power
is out, calls a subprogram to do the bulk of the work and decision making.

If that subprogram receives a message of a weak battery, it does a
PWRDWNSYS *IMMED, sets parameter &RETURN to "Y"  and returns to the main
program.

The main program, seeing the "Y" returned to it, does a DLCOBJ on the
message queue it's been monitoring and ends itself.  I was just wondering
if it ever even would get back to the main program.
