Hello Joe, Assuming you intend displaying the 'WarningMsg' to a user: Use real messages and substitution data to do this! The proper way is to send messages to a message subfile with the QMHSNDPM API. However, if you must display dynamic text in the panel you can still use messages and retrieve them via the QMHRTVM API (or the ERRMSGID keyword for displays but I think that sucks too). The advantage of messages is that the message handler does the formatting, you can change the text at will (no recompiles), you get national language support, and it's release independant. I think UCS2 is Unicode.
