Re: MAIN Keyword and Error Message Subfiles

I solved my own problem. I was trying to make it more complicated than it needed to be. I tried using the program name and the procedure name on the message APIs without much success. When I simply used '*' on the APIs in place of the program/procedure name, that solved it.

Subject: MAIN Keyword and Error Message Subfiles

I have been using procedures and error message subfiles for quite awhile now and haven’t had any issues with getting my messages to display. I recently tried using the MAIN keyword on the H-spec and defining my mainline as a procedure. That is working fine, but I can’t get my error message subfile to display my messages. I have put the program in debug to make sure that my error is getting triggered correctly. The error message is coming from a procedure 3 levels into the call stack of the program. Previously, I simply sent the message to the message queue of the program, but that doesn’t work with the MAIN keyword. I get an error telling me that the name is not found in the call stack. I have changed the SFLPGMQ length in my DSPF to 276 and tried loading the MAIN procedure name into it, as well as the name of the procedure sending the message. Neither have worked. The message gets sent, but it will not display on the screen.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? And if so, how didn’t you correct it?
