In other words it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to have to go outside

If we added the ability to monitor for specific messages, I think we'd also
add the ability to "throw" messages, including replacement text. I think
that using RPG status codes wouldn't be as useful in the long run since
there wouldn't be anything specific in the joblog.
