Re: Using printf in RPG and keeping the console open - again
What I can't see is why running a C program on the iSeries should behave differently in the respect of keeping the console open. I could understand it if the C program was run from within the console, like running it from an already open DOS prompt, but I can't understand why it would be different for two programs called from QCMD. 

It's not different.  You're crazy. :)
You have your C program compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW) and your RPG program compiled with ACTGRP(QILE) (or something else aside from *NEW).
The message that says "Press ENTER to end terminal session" occurs when you end the activation group -- since *NEW ends it automatically, the message appears immediately.
