Re: formatting message content

Arco,

If you know the MSGID and the MSGDTA for those substitutuion variables, then 
you can use the Send Programme Message and Receive Programme Message APIs. In 
the receiver variable of the second API you get the message in subbfield MSG 
(IIRC).

Show the text in a display field with CNTFLD(60) and WRDWRAP, no formatting 
required.

Success.

Carel Teijgeler.
