RE: QMHSNDPM API

["Mackie, Roger L. (Precision Press)" <RLMackie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Donnie,

I just noticed that my wrapper that sends messages from a named activation
group to an IBM menu running in the default activation group uses MsgType =
'*COMP' and CallStkEnt = '*CTLBDY'. You might want to experiment with those
values.

Subject: QMHSNDPM API


I am executing a command interactively from the command line using a rpgle
program as its processor.  When the rpgle program encounters an error,
QMHSNDPM is used to send an error.  Unfortunately, the error flashes and is
gone.  In the rpgle processing after the message is sent, the program ends.
How do I get the message to remain on the display after message is sent?  I
have tried different variations of the message type and '*' for the call
stack entry, but without success.  I know on SNDPGMMSG, *PRV can be used
for TOPGMQ, but I can't seem to find the equivalent option for the api.
Here is an excerpt of the code:
