Yes, it's trickier. Status messages go to *EXT, i.e. the status line of the terminal. Completion messages go to whatever call stack entry you send it to; then it's up to that program to show it or not.

In general I use call stack entry *CTLBDY with call stack count 0. That is mostly the program (or command line) where my program is called from. With a command line that is fine, most of the time.

But I also send completion messages to subfile programs with a message subfile. Then my messsage automatically ends up in the message subfile.

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).

Thank you, but I tried this before. There's no (perceivable) output at all.

:wq! PoC
