Interactive jobs do NOT go into MSGW when waiting on an inquiry

  Testing only the manner in which that HLL default-handler implements 
both the sending of an inquiry and then awaiting a reply, is not an 
exhaustive test of how the status of all interactive jobs will be 
presented when they are awaiting a message.  Many inquiries will be sent 
to the *EXT program queue, for which the Display Messages panel will be 
presented, from which a reply is awaited; per display file [or panel 
group] interaction, the job appears with status DSPW.
  But just as not all jobs in Message Wait (MSGW) status will use the 
QSYSOPR [aka *SYSOPR] Message Queue (MSGQ) to send an inquiry [and from 
which to await a reply], not all interactive jobs that are waiting on a 
reply to an inquiry must *only* appear as Display Wait (DSPW) status.
  Whether an interactive job appears in MSGW depends mostly on awaiting 
a reply from an inquiry made to an External Message Queue (*MSGQ), and 
then whether or not the inquiry caused a panel [i.e. the Display Program 
Messages screen] to appear at the interactive workstation.  If no panel 
is presented [mostly, if the message does not /break/ to the display due 
to the combination of job setting Break Message Handling (BRKMSG) and 
the MsgQ setting Delivery (DLVRY) that are established], then the job 
will appear in MSGW -- with the msg CPI2404 "Waiting for reply to 
message on message queue &2." showing in the status line.  If the 
interactive job is seen in MSGW, then if the user issues a SysRqs-4 to 
Display Message (DSPMSG), then the job will go into DSPW [per 
presentation of the Display Messages panel], but the job would still be 
awaiting the reply, such that exiting from that panel will return the 
job status to MSGW, from the DSPW status.
  Review the effects of Job Status value shown in WRKACTJOB after each 
Send User Message request, before an answer is supplied.
