Thanks for that Dan - I was coming to the same conclusion myself.

We already have another phantom that uses MESSAGE, so I knew that wouldn't be a 
problem. I was a bit disheartened when I found out i could use PHANTOM either - 
that would have been a relatively painless approach.

We do have a number of other phantoms already doing tasks at various intervals, 
so adding an extra task to just poll a file would be too much to ask. It's a 
pity that I can't use MESSAGE (or PHANTOM) directly.

I just checked on our system and I can call MESSAGE within a PHANTOM if it is 
executed from a normal session.

With this in mind, a possible work around would be to run a 24/7 phantom that 
either accepts data from a named piped/socket or polls a file and sends out a 
message based on the data received.

the appropriate method.

It's dirty and obviously having it work natively from your UV sub would be 
better, but if it isn't possible...

Regards,
Dan

Oh, great - now I'm getting the same error for PHANTOM - so I can't use that 
workaround.

VOC entry "PHANTOM" illegal as or in a procedure.

I'm wondering if it's because MESSAGE can optionally prompt for input, and 
because the call statement is executed from the jsp page via executeQuery - 
maybe it won't allow input inside a query (similar to the rule about input 
inside a transaction).

Perhaps if I execute a PHANTOM command to perform the MESSAGE commands in a 
different process - maybe that would work.
