I generally use a message subfile to show messages with one indicator for
each field for highlighting and such.  This subfile works with a message
utility program that places specified message in the program message queue.


The primary advantages are that substitution variables may be easily used
and, unlike ERRMSG* and SFLMSG*, any data placed into the screen fields will
be displayed along with the error.

I believe there are examples of this technique available.  If you can't find
any, I'll be happy to share.

I am wondering what is the best way to show these various messages. 

Traditionally I would use an indicator for each hard-coded message and use
SFLMSG or ERRMSG  and the ERRSFL keyword.

What solutions do you folks prefer?
