Joe, The MSGNO increments when a string is written to in the code. I have that setup at a few sites. It lets the operators know where they are at in the process, operator action, hold-restart messages etc. I can send you an FV library object if you'd like.

Of course, this is written differently than seq messages. -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Device ----- Original Message ----- From: Douglas G.

You just connect to one of the SN00xx parameters and use an appropriate trigger parameter to force display updates. Some applications increment a rolling integer index as the string update trigger and some might use the sequence block MSGNO parameter. The MSGNO mechanism probably only works if you use the SENDMSG statement...

Riccardi Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 2:47 PM To: foxboro Subject: [foxboro] Sending text "messages" from sequence code to the FoxView displays Folks, I have a request from a client to 'efficiently send text "messages" from sequence code to the FoxView displays indicating where they are in the sequence'. I am just curious how many choices there are out there. I already know we will have to insert the specific text "messages" into the sequence code but not sure of the best way to handle in FoxView. My experience has been with SENDMNSGs to SNs in DMs. What is the best way in FoxView? Thanks. Joseph M.
