Charles, You started with <snip> I have an APF-authorized batch program that I want to have WTO a message that will hang out at the bottom of the console screen until it is explicitly deleted </snip>
I'm quite sure that the system will automatically DOM a message upon termination of the jobstep of the issuer. That should not be much of a surprise. I'd hope it is mentioned somewhere (for completeness, not suggesting that it's at all obvious). That might be thought not to violate your requirement unless you added "and not cleaned up at step termination". Not all that many things fall into the category of "not cleaned up at step termination". Obtaining of common storage, of course, is one.
