SNDESCMSG4 SEND ESCAPE MESSAGE 4 TAAMSIC
The Send Escape Message 4 command allows you to send an escape message using QCMDEXC or similar functions. The system command SNDPGMMSG or other TAA SNDESCMSGx commands require that the command be in a CL program. SNDESCMSG4 may be used from a Command Exit to cause an escape message. A typical command would be: SNDESCMSG4 MSG('...') The message is sent as message ID TAA1020 from the TAAMSGF in TAATOOL. The second level text identifies it as coming from SNDESCMSG4. Differences with other methods of sending escape messages --------------------------------------------------------- The intent of SNDESCMSG4 is that it can be used as the command to be executed in a command exit program (see the TAA Tool CMDEXIT). The system SNDPGMMSG command and the other TAA SNDESCMSG commands may only be used in a CL program. You cannot execute one of these types of commands in a function such as QCMDEXC or in the return command for a command exit program. SNDESCMSG4 is not restricted to CL program use. Consequently, it may be used whenever an escape message must be sent using a function like QCMDEXC.
