Chris, you're sending an Information message.  This type of
message only goes to the joblog, and can't be monitored.
If you want it to behave like an exception, use '*ESCAPE'
instead of '*INFO'.  If you want it to show up at the bottom
of the screen (like a progress message), use '*STATUS'.  If
you want it to go to the program-messages screen, use '*EXT'
instead of '*' for the program queue, and maybe 0 for the
stack offset.
