<h1 class="topictitle1">Use break-handling programs</h1>
<div><p>A break-handling program is one that is automatically called when
a message arrives at a message queue that is in *BREAK mode. </p>
<div class="section"> <p>You must specify the name of both the program and the break delivery
name on the same <span class="cmdname">Change Message Queue (CHGMSGQ)</span> command.
Although you specify the program on the CHGMSGQ command, it is one or more
procedures within the program that processes the message. A procedure within
this program must run a <span class="cmdname">Receive Message (RCVMSG)</span> command
to receive the message. To receive and handle the message, the user-defined
program called to handle messages for break delivery receives parameters.
Specifically, the first procedure to run within the program receives these
parameters. The parameters identify the message queue and the message reference
key (MRK) of the message that is causing the break. If the system calls a
break-handling program, it interrupts the job that has the message queue in
break mode. When the break-handling program ends, the interrupted program
resumes processing.</p>
<p>The following program (PGMA), which consists of
only this one procedure, is an example of a break-handling program. </p>
<pre>PGM PARM(&amp;MSGQ &amp;MSGLIB &amp;MRK)
DCL VAR(&amp;MSGQ) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&amp;MSGLIB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&amp;MRK) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)
DCL VAR(&amp;MSG) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(75)
RCVMSG MSGQ(&amp;MSGLIB/&amp;MSGQ) MSGKEY(&amp;MRK) +
MSG(&amp;MSG)
.
.
.
ENDPGM</pre>
<p>After the break-handling program is created, running the following
command connects it to the QSYSMSG message queue.</p>
<pre>CHGMSGQ MSGQ(QSYS/QSYSMSG) DLVRY(*BREAK) PGM(PGMA)</pre>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <ol><li>When messages are handled, they should be removed from the message queue.
When a message queue is put in break mode, any message on the queue will
cause the break-handling program to get called. During CHGMSGQ, the break
program is called only once when a message is found that meets the criteria
of the message severity for the queue, regardless of how many messages meeting
the message severity criteria are found so the break handling program should
handle all of the messages on the queue. After CHGMSGQ, the break
program is called for each message that meets the message severity criteria.</li>
<li>The procedure or program receiving the message should not be coded with
a wait-time other than zero to receive a message. You can specify a value
other than zero for the wait parameter with the <span class="cmdname">Receive Message (RCVMSG)</span> command.
The message arrival event cannot be handled by the system while the job is
running a break-handling event.</li>
<li>The message queue severity can be set to indicate that the break-handling
program should only be called if the severity of the message sent is equal
to or greater than the severity of the message queue.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>An example of a break-handling program is to have the program
send a message, which is normally sent to the QSYSOPR queue, to another queue
in place of or in addition to QSYSOPR.</p>
<p>The following is an example of
a user-defined program (again with only one procedure) to handle break messages.
The display station user does not need to respond to the messages CPA5243
(Press Ready, Start, or Start-Stop on device &amp;1) and CPA5316 (Verify alignment
on device &amp;3) when this program is used. </p>

ENDBRKPGM: ENDPGM</pre>
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> <p>In the above example of a break-handling
program, if a CPA5316 message should arrive at the queue while the <span class="cmdname">Display
Message (DSPMSG)</span> command is running, the DSPMSG display shows the
original message that caused the break and the CPA5316 message. The DSPMSG
display waits for the operator to reply to the CPA5316 message before proceeding.</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This
program cannot open a display file if the interrupted program is waiting for
input data from the display.</div>
<p>You can use the system reply list to
indicate the system will issue a reply to predefined inquiry messages. The
display station user, therefore, does not need to reply. </p>
<p>A procedure
within a user break-handling program may need a Suspend and Restore procedure
to ensure the display is suspended and restored while the message handling
function is being performed. The Suspend and Restore procedure is necessary
only if the following conditions exist: </p>
<ul><li>A procedure in the break-program displays other menus or screens</li>
<li>The break-program calls other programs which may display other menus or
screens.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following example clarifies the user procedure and display file
needed to suspend and restore the display:</p>

<p>If you do not want the user specified break-handling program
to interrupt the interactive job, the program may be submitted to run in batch.
You may do this by specifying a break-handling program that receives the
message and then performs a <span class="cmdname">Submit Job (SBMJOB)</span>. The SBMJOB
performs a call to the current break-handling program with any parameters
that you want to use. (An example is information from the receive message.)
Control will then be returned to the interactive job and it will continue
normally.</p>
