RE: Question about prototyping

There is no way, using QMhSndPm, to have the sending program be anything other than the caller of the API, which is one reason we use copybooks to define the API interface. The other is I HATE wrappers to "dumb down" an API interface.

Who knows???

We have an old subroutine to do basically the same thing
(SNDPGMMSG), which we copy in to programs. I've thought
about rewriting as a procedure in a service program before,
but the "what program sent this message" problem stopped me.
I suspect that there is some way to make it work as a
procedure in a service program, but I haven't been motivated
enough to find out.
