Hi Patrik - Gavin hasn't explained, but "Bubbles" up usually means to me that a message goes up the call stack as it is not handled or is resent, perhaps, by his program. I sometimes use the term "percolates".

Hello Gavin,

This is a very old program, ported from my SYSTEM/38 Days. This "Bubbles" Up messages and may be the solution to your dilemma.

Thanks a lot! Honestly, I do not understand what "bubbles up" means in this context.

I solved my dilemma by eventually doing what I wanted to avoid: The menu entry calls the CL program PGM1. This just calls the RPG program PGM2 (doing the real work, returning to PGM1 after finishing) and afterwards runs SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGDTA('Whatever') TOPGMQ(*PRV). I really wanted to omit this double-call because it feels like a dirty hack.

What's possible in CL seems not to work within RPG. But maybe I just don't understand the messages concept correctly to realize *why* it doesn't work.

(Apparently sometimes, dirty hacks can't be avoided. See my struggle with ftp NAMEFMT in this group in last August.)

Thanks to everyone trying to help!
