RE: Quick question regarding messages from CL programs

How about sending the message to the joblog. Make sure the job runs log(4 0 *msg). Then you can display the job log and search for your messages.
In this case you would want to preface your messages with a distinct code to make them easily searchable.

Subject: Quick question regarding messages from CL programs

If I have to RTFM for this one (and I've already begun doing so), it will probably take forever; I'm hoping somebody knows it off the top of his or her head:

Suppose I have a CL program running in a batch job. And I want that CL program to send a message (an "INFO" message is fine) to *the user running the batch job* indicating that it has reached a specific checkpoint in the job.

How do I do it? SNDMSG or SNDPGMMSG? And with what parameters?

According to what I've read in the helptext, I understand that REQUESTER in a batch job sends to the system operator message queue (which I don't want).

The idea here is to find out what portion of the job is taking the most time, by looking at the timestamps on the messages from various checkpoints.
