SNDBRKMSG

[Glenn Gundermann <ggundermann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Did the SNDBRKMSG always break even if the message queue is in *HOLD
status?  I thought by putting a message queue on hold, it would hold all
the messages.  The help on SNDBRKMSG says it will always break
regardless of the message queue status but I can't remember it being
this way before.  We are on V4R2.

Did IBM change this at some release?

The reason I am asking is that my nightly backup program does a CHGMSGQ
*usrprf *HOLD and CHGMSGQ *wrkstn *HOLD so no messages will interrupt
the backup that is running at the console.  Some twit programmer sent a
break message to *ALLWS instead of my workstation at 2:11am and this
interrupted the backup program.

Is there a way to stop break messages from breaking on the screen or do
I have to write a break message handling routine?

Thanks.
