I have a menu program in RPGLE that calls othert CLPs/RPGLE
programs. When there are status messages in the CLP (and
occasionally RPGLE), the messages aren't making it back to the
original menu program.

I've done this in the past with a menu program and the messages
showed up, but not this time around. I'm avoiding changing the
called programs.

Any ideas???

To get messages from the called programs to show up in your menu
program's message subfile, then those called programs have to be smart
enough to target the menu program's message queue. This may work by
default when the called program targets the message queue for the *PRV
entry in the call stack but it may not in the case that there is more than
one call stack entry between the menu program and the call stack entry
that is issuing the message. This is particularly true with ILE/RPG but
can also apply to ILE/CL. Meaning, ILE (sub)procedures take up space in
the call stack with their own entry -- usually *in addition* to the call
stack entry for the called program. Then service procedures called by the
ILE/CL or ILE/RPG programs mean even more entries in the call stack.


Sincerely,
