SNDSTSMSG Message Function

The Send Status Message (SNDSTSMSG) function is used to send a status message to the message queue of a calling function. A status message provides information concerning the progress of a long-running task.

The SNDSTSMSG function causes a message to be returned to the program message queue of the job that invokes the SNDSTSMSG function. The SNDSTSMSG function type is only valid for interactive jobs and causes the message to display at the base of the panel during a long-running interactive job.

The SNDSTSMSG function is attached to a CA 2E shipped file called *Messages.
