Embedded SQL message

If I was a betting man, I would've bet money that I've seen this somewhere in the past.

I have a simple embedded SQL RPG program that deletes records from a file. Other than edit checking the date, the only thing the program does is...

___ exec SQL delete from ds_gsl where GSLDLVYMD < :ymd;

It works fine, and the job log shows the message...:
"350104 rows deleted from DS_GSL in DS_DATA."

Now the kicker... I need/want to display this SQL message to the user either during or after the program runs. Is there a way to access this SQL message in the RPG program? My hope was to use SQLERM (or SQLERRMC) but that doesn't help.

This may be a longshot, but something in the back of my mind says this is do-able.

We're on 7.2.

Thanks in advance.
