I was wondering if there is a way that a FLAG can be set in a CL program so that when it ends, the system sends an "Ended Abnormally" message. I'd like a nighttime batch job that doesn't meet certain criteria (that I can trap for) to end without blowing up, but I still want the operator notified that something went wrong. I know it's easy enough to send a message on my own...this is basically a curiosity question.

SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9897) + MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGTYPE(*ESCAPE)
