Note that a break message might or might not be seen by users. Break messages may be allowed or disallowed, as the user chooses. Further, break messages won’t provide a decent log to show that they were actually received. You’re better off sending a *COMP completion message.

If you absolutely positively must display a message (and from your description, you don’t need to), call the QUILNGTX API.

Thanks
I used a break message in the end – just because it stays on the workstation so the user has to respond to clear it, and, I assume, will have at least had the chance to read it. So no excuses from the users!

Thanks both

Maybe you can try to use sndmsgbrk command in the CL program. This command send a message to the screen that submitted the job.
