Hi,

I'm using the MESSAGE function to give some warns when a variable gets a specific value.
the question is: where I can display the scrolling list of warnings, because it doesn't appear.

If you call message with a warning value (1) then you need to have warning set to display - otherwise nothing will appear. Go to Tools>Options>Settings and set warnings to display.

Hi,

I check in Tools>Options, and the option is check in Display. But it doesn´t work.
This is the way I'm calling it:

if then else (P1<0, MESSAGE('Need 1',1) , MESSAGE('Need 0',1))

if I use another option in the display parameter, everything works fine, except in the option 1.

Thank's

Hi,

Thank's for the last post, it help's.

Now the MESSAGE is working fine with the display option 1. But now, I just want to know if I can display the value of a variable in the list of warnings. For example:

WARNING: the process 5 is not working

but in other run, the process 5 is working fine, but the process 6 not, so I need to display.

WARNING: the process 6 is not working.

thank's.

just surround the variable with the value in \/ as in 'The time is \Time/'

Thank's
