Does anybody know if it is possible to have the status messages pop up on
the display while the job is running and what I need to do to achieve it.

Hi Jonathan

I've done a couple of similar projects, though coming at it from a
slightly different angle:
http://www.dbg400.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/DBG400/ProgressMeter is a
program that send *STATUS messages to *EXT, so no message subfile is
required.
http://www.dbg400.net/samples.html - see the "Subject: "RPGLE: DSPLY,
API QMHSNDPM" thread in the Usenet section - is a CL program that
sends messages to its own message subfile that it collects from a data
queue. The data queue collects messages from a number of programs (on
two systems) and keeps the message subfile positioned to the latest
messages.
