Only cure is more programming-- monitor for the messages, add error checking, etc. etc. Prevent the message from ever seeing the light of day!

When I write a program that has to interact with a human (ie get a response), I ask-- is there any way the information can be found without bothering someone to type in the run date or the first invoice number in the run. Only after 2 or 3 iterations of "where can I find that info" does the inquiry bubble up to a human.

Similarly, a MONMSG in CLP will prevent a 1st level error from interrupting things. You can intercept errors in RPG and other languages as well-- use the error indicator for disk errors, etc. And NEVER do you want to see a "Divide by Zero" error!

Of course-- if you don't have access to the source code...

Does anyone know if there is a way to require a "response" on these messages?

No matter how much we preach, users will inevitably press <enter> through the message. Would be nice if there was a way to require a valid response (C D I R), etc. and NOT accept <enter> as a "C".
