  • Message Subfile positioning

    Hi,
    I have a full size screen (24x80) that is a subfile. I also have a message subfile that begins on line 19 for 3 lines.

    The reason for the msgsfl is because the users have an option to display the value of a record, which I send to the screen via a message to the program queue which then displays it in the msgsfl.

    They want to see the last few messages as well as the most recent. Unlike a normal subfile, where I can control the record displayed, I cannot find a way to keep the last message on the screen. They have to roll down to see the last message if there's more than 3.

    I do not have the room to display more than 3 lines of the msgsfl nor do I have room to just display the value to the right, left or under the record being displayed.

    Anyone know of a way to solve this?
