I found an option in the DDS of the window and it is set to have the
message line in the window.

The program is using a subroutine to send the messages to the program
message queue. The messages are stored in a MSGF.

When the window is displayed, it does not display the messages.

The messages are displayed when I exit (F3) the window.

I use the *NOMSGLIN keyword and you can have a message subfile in
a window as long as you have enough room for the record format to fit and
the messages are in the call message queue expected by the window. The
following is the message subfile from one of my windows.
