Re: What's the proper way to "reraise" in a CLP?

John Young,

It appears that you may be interested in a generic (i.e. common, standard)
way of returning messages from Python scripts to CLPs. The use of IBM
call-stack message queues, *DIAG and *ESCAPE messages in that regard is too
confusing and problematic in my experience.

When users embed code in CLPs to receive messages from call-stack message
queues, it's never really clear to them what they may be looking for,
because so many possibilities exist for finding messages in call-stack
message queues. A new release of an OS may add new messages. Some messages
may percolate up to other call-stack message queues, others may not. A new
release of a Python script may add new messages. That pretty much forces
end users to literally read job logs, and figure out for themselves what
your program may be trying to tell them.

Have you considered just writing a program that can be called at relevant
points in the CLP, to return messages (if any) via return parms? Likewise
provide a program that can be called from Python, to generate messages? Let
the CLP developer decide how to pass them along to end-users?
