You create a message queue for each user when they signon. You set it to
break mode and you use your own message handling program.

You have another program that sends a message to any of those message queues
that are in use (*Locked)

The message handling program wakes up when the message queue receives a
message and can display whatever you want.

so you are suggesting that the program is initiated from the user profile
setting when the user signs on and continues running in the background as
the user carries on their normal activities?

Jay, Very interesting question. Can you program something on a terminal
id level basis. Perhaps the program that is called on the USerprofile
can provide a call to this pop up reminder program.

Subject: i5 pop up window

For our green-screen users, is there a way to custom program (via rpgiv)
a
way to have a window pop up on a users screen no matter what application

they are in that will provide reminder information to them. They should
be
able to continue working in whatever they are working in, but see the
popup
window. After a certain amount of time (or whatever condition), the
window
will automatically disappear.
We were even considering a simple clp with sndbrkmsg, but that would
really
be a little too rough around the edges.

Is there a way or will 3rd party software be required?

Thanks,
