I have been asked to show a Variable on the menu that changes each
day, it is actually a security code the users need to validate a
ticket issued by an automated console. I cannot get the variable to
show on the menu, I have tried via a database file and a message file
both do not work database does not show and message only shows
message at compile time and does not update when message file
changes, any advise would be greatly received.

I can do it on a display screen such as a subfile screen or a data
entry screen because I can chain to the file and retrieve the code
but not on a menu screen

Note: The topic of DDS MENU is not an RPG language topic; such a topic is best discussed on MIDRANGE-L; cross-posted, and Followup-To set there.

If the Message Identifier (MSGID) feature already noted in other replies is found to be lacking, then perhaps [¿in conjunction?j look into the possibility of what assigning a Data Queue (DTAQ) to the display file might add.?
