What I meant was since you are going to allow a default error handling option
(*dump etc) in the H spec, can we have this available on the CRTRPGMOD cmd too?
This way we can change it on the fly without updating the source code.

Also,  system messages have a system reply list. Can we build one for the 
program
and program searches this list for a reply to a specific message.  I know this 
is
kind of vague, but then others can perfect this ?

Another annoying problem, instead of calling DLYJOB, can we get a WAIT opcode in
CF or C?  This would facilitate  STRSRVJOB and STRDBG besides other uses.   And
yes, Wait with a variable name with *H (hours), *M (minutes) *S(seconds) 
qualifier
will be nice and an indicator for the expiry.

There was an option called Inquiry on the system menu(#4) for the S/36.  This
would call for a pause and allow the program to stop at whatever line at the 
time
of the inquiry option .  Sometimes in debug, you forget to set a breakpoint, 
only
to remember after the program starts running,  Currently, there is no way to 
break
after the program starts running unless stopped at a breakpoint.   You can get
around this by using STRSRVJOB and STRDBG, but that is just a bit cumbersome.
What would be nice is an option on the system menu when under debug to stop and
display the executing line and allow the debug command line to be used.  I 
know, I
know, this has nothing to do with CF but who knows what you guys out there in
Canada are upto .... ;-)
