Re: CL type conversion error

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

QIBM_QSH_CMD_ESCAPE_MSG doesn't *always* convert the QSH0005 from *COMP 
to *ESCAPE.  It only makes it an *ESCAPE if the exit status is not zero.

Going back to the code you posted, if the QSH command exits with a 
status of 0, your MONMSG won't fire, and therefore you won't retrieve 
RC.  Outside of the MONMSG/ENDDO block you still try to use the &RC, 
which will be wrong.

Within the MONMSG, your RCVMSG doesn't work because it's receiving a 
*COMP message, and as you've already pointed out, in order for MONMSG to 
fire, the message has to be an *ESCAPE message.  So the RCVMSG won't 
work even if QShell sends an *ESCAPE, because it's only receiving *COMP. 
 And you know you won't have a *COMP, because if you did, the MONMSG 
would not have fired.
