Re: Display a Messsage

  A          R WAIT
  A                                      FRCDTA
  A                                      OVERLAY
  A                                  4  2' '
  A                                 12 32'Please wait ...'
  A                                 23  2' '

 Try this   with WRITE WAIT intead of EXFMT.
Lines 4 and 23 are for clearing complete display from line 4 to 23.
Hope this wil help.
