the client doesn't want display no data rows matched by Webfocus default message. He wants a friendly dialog box say "No record found. Please try again." How can I do that.
Thanks in advance.

Your request did not return any output to display.
Possible causes:
- No data rows matched the specified selection criteria.
- Output was directed to a destination such as a file or printer.
- An error occurred during the parsing or running of the request.

You will need to check for the result of &LINES after your report request (make sure EMPTYREPORT is set to OFF). If the value is 0 (No report lines produced), then display a customized page.

TABLE FILE blah
SUM ....
BY ...
WHERE ...
END
-RUN
-IF &LINES GT 0 THEN GOTO :ENDRPT;

-* No lines -- display "friendly message"
-HTMLFORM friendly_no_data.htm

-:ENDRPT
-EXIT


friendly_no_data will be a page that you will create and style to your like/needs. If they want a dialog "box" then you'll have to resort to Javascript in order to accomplish all of that but as you are in control of the HTML markup you can implement it anyway you want.

This example is very simplistic as it's only checking for NO DATA conditions but you may want to also check for errors and the like.

Please try the "Search" feature in this forum for error checking and related material. You'll find plenty of good info.
