Re: Message line: Another approach?

Hello Francois,

Below code is what I use to emulate System Subfile Messages: highlighted messages at the bottom of the display that you can scroll if there is a + next to it
Each SNDPGMMSG or QMHSNDPM sent to '*' will put a new message on top of the last one, if any, In the Program or Subfile Message Queue

I know about that technique, and already tested it. Apparently, as soon as I'm using ERRSFL in the DSPF, that one takes precedence and any message sent via the self-made message subfile you mention just blinks for a short time.

If you need +info, I suggest "Programming DDS for Display files" IBM pdf book (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i)

This is one of my most important documents to look at, besides ILE RPG Reference. :-)

I will not provide +more support

No problem. Thanks for taking time.

:wq! PoC
