I am processing a file and would like to display a long message in a pop up window for every 100 records processed.

I have the following code in a seperate routine which I call whenever I reach 100 records.

zedsmsg=''
zedlmsg= I 'records processed'
Address ISPEXEC 'SETMSG MSG(ISRZ000)'

This is not working. Any ideas on how to make it work.

Thanks

better to use your own popup panel with addpop, control display lock, display and rempop. I think there are also ways you use a message by using DISPLAY wiithout a panel name, but that doesn't work well from edit macros and probably table displays.

is not the long message displayed when you do a PF1
after the short message is displayed (which has be set to a 0 length string?

suggest you have a short message and a long message.

if there is no short text, the long is shown. A useful trick for showing more than 1 line's worth of info in a macro, btw.
