Ravi,

I would start by coding the error parameter a little differently.  It should be 
at least 
8 characters long so that you can determine whether you have an error.  I would 
make it 256.  It also appears as though the binary parameters are defined as 2 
long.  I would change it to 9b 0 or better yet 10i 0.  Once you have an error 
structure 
you can determine whether the problem is in sending the message or displaying 
the 
message.  If you are interested in doing this a little differently by sending 
the messages 
using sub-procedures I could send you some source.  There was also a 
description 
of using the message APIs in Midrange Computing back in October 1998.  I would 
really recommend that you consider looking into this.

I have used API's for subfile messages. Interestingly, On one run I find the
messages displayed in the 24th line and on the other run, there are no
messages. I am attaching the source code for the RPGLE program I have used.
Can anyone explain why this happens?? I am now forced to write a CLP for the
same task.
