Re: Sending a message in CL

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on later comments, I believe I would build a new front-end CL that 
called Program A as needed, with a screen and with a subfile, and that 
new front end would monitor a dataqueue, adding dataqueue entries to the 
subfile, as a status log.

Program B does its task based on the parameter and then needs to send a message that will show up at the bottom of the screen when program A is complete so we can see what all happened by scrolling through the messages.

However, when program B is called from program A, the messages never show when program A is complete.  Can anyone tell me which command and parms need to be used to have program B send the message all the way back?
