SendProgramMessage( 'CPF0002' : 'QCPFMSG *LIBL ' : '' : 0 : '*ESCAPE' : '*PGMBDY' : 1 : #Key : 0 );I thought I'd have some problems with cleanup (open files at least) but it appears that after sending the *ESCAPE there are no open files in the job. What does *ESCAPE do to an RPG ILE program? Is there something going on with RPG trapping the *ESCAPE message and closing the files? Is this just normal behavior for ILE to shut down the program using an *ESCAPE message?Is using *ESCAPE equivalent to *INLR = *ON followed by RETURN?
You are sending the *ESCAPE message to your caller (*PGMBDY usually means this program and 1 means the caller of this program). That causes the program issuing the exception to end abnormally. When an RPG program ends abnormally it will close all opened files just as it would if it received an unmonitored exception causing the default exception handler to start and you answered C to its message. This is nothing to do with ILE. The same behaviour should occur if an OPM program invoked QMHSNDPM to send an *ESCAPE message to its caller.
