Re: How to prevent a user from answering a message error

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In V5R2 a new exit point was added to the system for Reply Handling.  The
exit point can be found in the Information Center under Programming; APIs;
APIs by category; Message Handling; and then Reply Handling.  This exit
does not exactly answer your question (how to prevent a user from
answering) but does allow your program to either reject their response or
change their response.  Obviously the program could also notify your
support personnel in addition to changing the Cancel response to Dump (or
whatever).

I should point out that there is one consideration when running the exit
program that we are in the process of updating the Information Center
about.  And that is the debug breakpoints won't work when the exit program
is running.

Hello all,

One of our programmers asked me the following:

Can we prevent a user from answering an error message. Example: the user
calls PGMA that call PGMB but there is a level check error. We want the
user to be unable to cancel the program so that the IT support personel can
do theire job better (like look at the call stack, list of open files ...).

If someone can point me in the right direction (like where in the
information center or IBM manual information regarding this might be
found), I would apreciate.

Thanks
