What STDERR?

Is that anything like registering an error handler in ILE?

Note:  For better handling of errors than QCMDEXC look at QCAPCMD.
system() is nice but even QCMDEXC can show you more error detail (by
looking in the program status data structure).

QCAPCMD

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rbam6/excmd.htm

Even though it is called a "command analyzer", and it mighty cool for
prompting commands to be stored in a menu system, it also can be told to
actually execute those commands.  And the return data is better than
QCMDEXC or system().

Ugh, too fast on the Send button.

The command I am designing uses an RPGLE program as a CPP; within that RPG
program, error conditions may occur that I want to be able to issue escape
messages for.

As I am examining my requirements and refreshing my foggy memory, I think
this will be best accomplished using the Send Program Message (QMHSNDPM)
API.

Sorry for posting before I thought this through.
