RE: Sending a message - wanting a reply

Alan,

I think you want the Send Program Message, QUSSNDPM (SP?) and Receive message, QUSRCVM (SP?) API's. The key is to make sure you are in the correct call level and not sending the message up the stack several levels.

Unfortunately, like Ron, I have done it but can't remember where. I'll pass it along if I can locate the code.

Subject: Sending a message - wanting a reply

Morning everyone
Today as already been a long day, and my brain is just NOT working.
I have a RPGILE program (Free-format) that upon a certain error I have to Send a message to the operators, wanting a reply of I - Ignore, C - Cancel, R - Retry.
How can I code this within the free-format RPGILE (I'm thinking SNDUSRMSG wanting a reply)? - OR - do I have to call a CL program passing parameters?
I need to go for my 26th cup of coffee.
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance
