Hello,  
I’m new here and trying to learn the in’s and out’s of the AS400 remotely.  
I was wondering if anyone could give me a screen shot of a crash screen.  
So if i program crashes, what does the screen look like.  
Thanks in advance for any help

To be known check the \*Call Status after any call to a server function, you should get an error (Not a blank) if the server crashes. You can program your client to quit if the \*Call Status fails. This does require an if statement (or a common subroutine) after every server call though. As worked at a place where the standard was ANY function call checked the \*Call status and \*Returned status. If the call status was in error, it would set the \*Returning Status to a specially defined error code, and go sub terminate. Thus the calling program could check the \*Returned Status for this error code, and quit as well.
