Re: Quick question regarding messages from CL programs

I'm reasonably sure (poising foot to insert in mouth) that Status messages in batch jobs get dropped in the joblog for your entertainment.

When I do this, I use SNDPGMMSG with the parameters TOPGMQ(*EXT) and MSGTYPE(*STATUS)

If I remember right, if that's done in an interactive job, it goes to the message line on the terminal.

But we're talking about a batch job.

I actually *have* that construct in the CL program I'm attempting to profile:

SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QCPFMSG) + MSGDTA('Restoring original source + members...') TOPGMQ(*EXT) MSGTYPE(*STATUS)

and I'm not entirely sure where the message goes when it runs in the batch job.
