Re: API to get escape messages thrown by a command?

[Bruce Vining <bruce.vining@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

I know you are quite aware that anyone could send message IDs prefixed with
virtually any combination of values (XXX, XXY, XXZ being simple examples).
Give me a command and I assure you (as I'm aware you know)  that someone
can send any old escape message ID prefix they want and have it related to
that command.  As suggested earlier, I suspect David is out of luck as a
full solution isn't going to happen.  The command documentation is a good
start, but I don't see an API coming out claiming to handle every
possibility.  APARs would be way too easy.
