MSG

Use this procedure/function to create a message window with an Ok button. This procedure does not return a value.

Syntax

MSG (MsgLine1, MsgLine2, MsgLine3, Title)

Parameter	Description
MsgLine1	Enter the first line of the message.
MsgLine2	Enter the second line of the message.
MsgLine3	Enter the third line of the message.
Title	Enter a title for the message window.

This procedure provides the user with information. The message window is created as a standard message window.

This procedure displays a message each time the script executes. Therefore, use this procedure only in scripts that execute once during entry. Do not use the MSG procedure for scripts that execute each time a user tabs to a new field.

Note

A DAL script executes once during entry. A DAL calc executes each time the user tabs to a new field. You make the DAL script or DAL calc designation in the Properties window. This is also useful in Documaker Desktop when debugging scripts.
