Message Subfile in a Window

[neo85]

Hi All,

Is it possible to use a message subfile to display error messages in a windowed subfile screen? I got a scenario where i have to display error messages with length 256 chars but the windowed program can display only 50 chars and i have only one line available for the error message.

I tried using one but it doesnt print the message on the screen when i tried to do so. i used line number 22 for the error display as below. And i would want to start the message at column 8 of the 22nd line.

A SFLMSGRCD(22)

Any suggestions to get this done?

Thanks,
Neo

Re: Message Subfile in a Window

Just like a normal window with a few minor changes. Make sure your window definition specifies, no message line (counter intuitive) and that the control spec for your message subfile references the window.

Like so...

A          R WINDOWEDGE                                              
A                                      WINDOW(6 7  9 64 *NOMSGLIN)   
A                                      WDWTITLE((*TEXT &WINTITLE) +  
A                                               (*COLOR WHT) +       
A                                                *TOP *CENTER)       
A            WINTITLE      40A  P                                    
A          R WINDOW                                                  
       
A                                      WINDOW(WINDOWEDGE)

Note the SFLMSGRCD keyword. It should reference the last line in your window.. not the last line on the screen.

I may have misunderstood your intent after going back and rereading... just let me know.
