sysLib.displayMsgNum

The system function sysLib.displayMsgNum retrieves a value from the program's message table. The message is presented the next time that a form is presented by a converse, display, print, or show statement.

If possible, the message presentation is on the form itself, in the field to which the form property msgField refers. If the form property msgField has no value, the message is displayed previous to the display of the form, on a separate, modal screen or on a printable page.

sysLib.displayMsgNum takes as its only argument a value that is compared against each cell in the first column of the program's message table, which is the data table to which the program's msgTablePrefix property refers. The message retrieved by that function is in the second column of the same row.

msgNumber

The message is retrieved from the message table by number. The argument must be an integer literal or an item of primitive type SMALLINT or INT or the BIN equivalent.
