I have a similar set of procedures to encapsulate the gory details of
message  handling -- I think they were among the first set of RPG
procedures I wrote.  Carsten reminded me of some additional options I had
forgotten which nullify the effect of the generated RPG IV entry point
name.

How do you find the single program queue works in practice?  How do you set
that up?  I mean does your application "know" the call stack and send all
messages to the program queue of the main program?  Do you walk the call
stack looking for a specific program queue?  Do you send all messages to
the users message queue?  I'm curious because I would think that sending to
*PRV regardless of where the job is running would be a simpler approach.

Simon Coulter.
