Re: Call RPG Service Program from CLLE -- RPG400-L

Marvin,

There are probably a thousand ways to write programs with messagesubfiles.

What I see below is only the definition of the message subfile, not thebody of the display. While the OVERLAY in the message subfile controlmay or may not be necessary, in the body of the display you definitelyneed the OVERLAY keyword on the displays which follow the WRITE of themessage subfile.

A big mistake that I'll make (heaven only knows how many times) isputting my function key legend (the main body) on Line 24. Even withOVERLAY this hides the messages.

Actually, I don't have two record formats here but one.  The MSGCTL
record is header which contains all of the input fields and the MSGSFL
is the error message subfile.  So I don't need the overlay keyword
because there is only one write required to put on the screen the input
fields and the message subfile.

You might be missing the OVERLAY keyword.  I couldnt' get error messages

to show without it.

Call RPG Service Program from CLLE






I am using the ISTKT and attempt to use the MSGTKT.  I want to send
error messages to the display file via the SNDMSG service program.
I call SETDFTPGMQ:

CALLPRC    PRC(SETDFTPGMQ) PARM('RMR00100C')

I call SNDMSG:
CALLPRC PRC(SNDMSG) PARM('CPD006' ' Invalid +Function Key') RTNVAL(&MSGKEY)
I have the MSGSFL defined:
A R SFLHDR SFLA SFLMSGRCD(24)A MSGKEY SFLMSGKEYA PGMQ SFLPGMQ(10)
I have the MSGSFLCTL defined:
A R HEADER SFLCTL(SFLHDR)A SFLDSPA SFLDSPCTLA SFLINZA 99 SFLENDA SFLSIZ(0002)A SFLPAG(0001)A PGMQ SFLPGMQ(10)A #POSITION 4S 0HA #FIELD 10A HA #RECORD 10A HA 1 3DATE
Can anyone see what I am missing.  I see no messages at the bottom of
the screen except when the system displays job complete messages.

Before I lose what little hair I have left, can anyone help?

Marvin
