Patrick,

A status message is shown while the program is running and disappears when the program is finished. What you want is a completion message (message type *COMP).

Hello,

this message stuff really drives me mad. ;-)

I have a program doing just a simple task and ends. I want to display a status message upon program end so the user knows it has run (and optionally displays the content of a counter variable, how many PF rows were affected).

What I've done so far is to be seen in https://leela.pocnet.net/~poc/BOORDRSTPG.TXT (Yes, it's positional. I'm running V4. I'm a hobbyist, so please refrain from out of scope comments.)

When I run that program, the message shows up briefly and is erased thereafter.

How can I make it stay? What did I miss to understand about the whole call stack business, to be able to send the message to the caller? Eventually this is a user, typing a number according to a menu display which runs CALL PGM(BOORDRSTPG).

Thank you.

:wq! PoC
