While true that Status messages sent to the External program message
queue will not appear in the joblog, a Status message that is sent to
another [i.e. not *EXT] program message queue will; according to the
logging level, of course.

My response is based on the following from the IBM documentation. Notice
it says "...will not appear in a job log." No qualification for logging
level is indicated. But, I guess nobody ever said that IBM documentation
was reliable, eh?

Status (*STATUS). A message that describes the status of the work done by
a procedure or program. A procedure or program can monitor for the arrival
of status messages from the program or procedure it calls, but the status
message will not appear in a job log. Status messages sent to the external
message queue (*EXT) are shown at the display station and can be used to
inform the display station user of an operation in progress.
