#IBMiSample I'm tired of one-line messages. Too short. The average user needs clear and comprehensive messages. Then I need a large enough window to display a clear and complete message . Why not use a SUBFILE? A SUBFILE program can handle a list of many lines, a clear and complete message is just a list of many text lines! Here's how I did it I need a table that contains the messages. -- -- RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(VDOTEST1/QSOURCE) SRCMBR(W03AM00F) -- CREATE TABLE VDOTEST1/W03AM00F ( W3FANN CHARACTER(1) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, W3TPMS CHARACTER(6) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, W3COD0 NUMERIC(4, 0) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, W3RIG0 NUMERIC(2, 0) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, W3TXT0 CHARACTER(078) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT ) RCDFMT W03AM
