The simplistic approach is to change the job to use the system reply list with 
the command:

        CHGJOB INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL)

and set up the system reply list with the responses you need.  Investigate the 
ADDRPYLE command.  However, since I infer that you want to automatically reply 
to the inquiry message sent by the RPG exception handler then the proper 
approach is to include a *PSSR subroutine in your programs and 
programmatically handle the errors.  A *PSSR is similar to a CL MONMSG and you 
can issue a DUMP operation inside the *PSSR if your program deems it 
appropriate.  If done properly, your users will never see the nasty RPG 
exception handler which is as it should be.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
