That's certainly true, however, the uses I needed it for I have had the need to look at the information. All I cared about is if the command executed or not. Like you, I was unaware of the psds. Is that something that needs to be defined? or is available to use similar to a BIF?

I do have it buried in a lot of programs. However, Barb talked me back to using QCMDEXC. When you use QCMDEXC you can look at the psds and get more feedback if the command fails. Like "Why did it fail"? Granted, if you really want unlimited information, you'd use QCAPCMD. But for most applications, QCMDEXC suffices.
