Found this with some research:

 

http://documentation.informati.../wf77sec/wf77sec.pdf


Start on page 336.

In the file look for "err_42" message. There are several messages in the file mentioned.

This is the one I've been using for years in the ENtemplate.xml. Simple, but better than the default (IMHO):
    <template name='error_42'>
         <![CDATA[
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<style type='text/css'>
     div.msgstyle {

          border-top:1px solid #ddd;
          border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;
          text-align: center;

     div.msgerror {

     var focexec = '<insertvariable _executing_fex_name />';

Geri,

If all you want is that additional short message, then very simply, at the end of your report:
 
-RUN 
-RPTEND
-IF &LINES GT 0 GOTO #OUT;
-TYPE if you see this message, please send the entire message to IT support for resolution
-#OUT

Thanks all, lots of great suggestions.

I prefer to edit the Default message since it is so bold and that is the first thing the user see and frequently all they see at the bottom of the screen. They do not always page down when they see the message. For now, I added a message based on 0 lines as suggested here.

As for the default message, I changed the message (per your suggestion) but the original message still appears. I might need to contact IBI on that issue.

Make sure you change the correct file:

ibi/WebFOCUS77/client/wfc/etc/ENtemplate.xml

Then restart the web application.

The messages, in English, are in file \ibi\WebFOCUS77\client\wfc\etc\ENwebfoc_strings.lng
lines 99 to 103

You'll have to remember to update this file after an update...

Re-starting the client forced the changes to the default message to take.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Thanks for the html code for the error_42 template Daryl

We are on 8.0.0.4 and needed to change the the reference to element id 'fmsg to emsg

SO we change this line

if (document.getElementById('fmsg').innerHTML.indexOf('0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 0 LINES= 0') != -1)

to

if (document.getElementById('emsg').innerHTML.indexOf('0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 0 LINES= 0') != -1)
