| Note: Usage options |
The MESSAGE command has 4 main uses:
To cause a message to appear on line 22/24 of the next screen format that is displayed to the user.
To cause a message to be displayed on line 22/24 of the current screen format (no matter what it is) and then disappear when the next screen format is displayed to the user.
To cause a message to be displayed on line 22/24 of the current screen format (no matter what it is) and then delay the executing job for a minimum period of time.
To cause a single message to overlay the current screen format in a message "window" and optionally receive a reply to the message back into the RDML program. The message window may be positioned to overlay the top, middle or bottom of the current screen format.
