RE: Sending a message in CL

["John R. Smith, Jr." <smith5646midrange@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since both programs are CLLE, both of these options would be much more
involved.  There aren't screens in either program.  I just want the messages
displayed on the bottom of the screen when the program completes like the
messages you get back when you compile a program from PDM.

I was asked for more details on my current command.  Here it is.  Again, it
works if program B (where this command exists) is called directly from the
command line but not when program B is called from program A.

SNDPGMMSG  MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGDTA(&MSG)
             TOPGMQ(*PRV) MSGTYPE(*COMP)

If I am understanding this correctly, I might consider sending the messages
from Program B to a data queue.  Then, perhaps at program A's LR time or
even upon a F-key request, run a procedure that reads the data queue and
provides the log you are looking for, at the time that you want it.

A second choice would be for Program B to populate a log file that can be
viewed, archived, cleared, or whatever you and the user want done.
