Disagree all you want, but I still think that building a command string 
for QCMDEXC is considerably uglier than calling a command in CL. 
Particularly when you need to use MONMSG.

I know that I can use QMHRCVPM.  I've done it, I've wrapped it in my own 
procedure to make it nicer.  It works and it isn't that bad, but in this 
case it ends up being a bit cumbersome.  That's what's great about ILE, 
I can mix RPG and CL letting each do what it does best.
