When you send a status message, send a *STATUS message. These messages should target the *EXTernal message queue, NOT your program's message queue. The status message will remain there (obscuring the program message subfile, but your users don't know that) until something else is written there -- like your screen and message subfile.

I'm stuck home without time to look up the API. Right there where you currently send the *DIAG and write the MSGCTL01 format, stop doing both those things and send a *STATUS message to the *EXT queue (still using
QMHSNDPM) instead, then continue along with your processing as notmal.
Since you cleared all the program messages after reading the screen (good), it will be empty (good) and the status message will go away when the screen and MSGCTL01 are written again.
