The message CPF4906 is sent as a notify message.  I don't know if
there's any correlation between the severity you see in the joblog and
the severity parameter for CEEHDLR.  It's the "notify" aspect of it
that's causing the problem - MONMSG monitors for escape, status and
notify.  OPM RPG and ILE RPG both monitor for some notify messages, but
by message id, not by severity.

The ILE RPG programmer's guide discusses this situation in the section
called "Problems when ILE CL Monitors for Notify and Status Messages". 
It suggests either having the caller in a different activation group, or
using CEEHDLR to handle any messages with a severity of 0 or 1.
