Re: sending an error message back to a user

["David Prowak" <prowakd@xxxxxxx>]

This sounds like what I'm looking for.  
I think I'll implement this by using QCMDEXC to call a CL that does
as you suggested.

> SNDMSG MSG('...') TOMSGQ(&QLIB/&Q)

This solution combines recommendations from Howard and James. 
Thanks Brian.

PS  Thanks also to Huber for his reply.  As much as I'd like this to be
just a
       hypothetical example, this is how it really is.

        Prowak's example is just a example and not the real program!
