Re: Error Message Subfile in a Window

Thank you. It appears that I had *MSGLIN, since that is default, and I
didn't have *NOMSGLIN.

I use ACMS for compiling programs - and it takes forever. Um, bit of an
exaggeration there... I started running my program before I got the sfl
message that the compile had been completed. THAT message showed up IN MY
WINDOW, but the message that *I* sent from the program showed up OUTSIDE the
window - So, I think there's got to be something else wrong...

MAJOR ugly formatting... :-(

From the manual:
The format for the keyword is specified as follows:

"WINDOW(start-line | &start-line-field start-position
| &start-position-field window-lines window-positions
[*MSGLIN | *NOMSGLIN])
[*RSTCSR | *NORSTCSR])

...
The MSGLIN parameter specifies if a window contains a message line. If
this parameter is not specified, the default is *MSGLIN. *NOMSGLIN moves
the message out of the window and places it at the bottom of the display
or where the MSGLOC keyword defines the location. The last usable line
in the window is reserved for error messages; no records are displayed
there. If the error message is longer than the line, it is truncated to
fit. "

This suggests to me that your display format may have *NOMSGLIN keyword
attached?

It's been a long time since I've done this - but I have a "window"

program

that has an error subfile defined. Unfortunately, the errors show up in

the

main screen on line 24, and I want it to show up IN the window.

What am I missing?
