Is it possible for a focexec to generate a Windows dialog box with a specific message (one or more lines of text using variables to supply certain values)? I think PC FOCUS had a way of doing something similar.
Thank you,

As WebFOCUS workin in a browser, you are limited to what a browser can do.
Simple answer is Yes, with Javascript or VB script.
This is not pretty, but gives the basic idea.
-SET &Mess = 'My Report is done!' ;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
CAR MODEL
END
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
alert('&Mess');
//-->
</script>
-HTMLFORM END

Excellent! This just what I was looking for -- simple and short!

Whats not pretty is the structure of the HTML page, do a view source and have a look.
Don't know if it will work for all browsers.

Waz: I think you're being too hard on yourself (which may be a good thing). But, then again, maybe I'm too tolerant... Either way. It works fine from the WebFOCUS perspective which was the basis of my "What's NOT 'Pretty' about that..." comment... The bottom line: It's in my library now, as is. So, please let me know if you make it "prettier". Thanks...

Is there a way to change the text in the title bar of the dialog box?
Thank you,

As this is a Javascript function you are limited.
but you may be able to do a lot more with things line modal dialog boxes.
These sort of questions are for other forums, as it is not a WebFOCUS thing, its a Web/Browser thing.

Prettified, using jQuery:
-SET &MESS = 'My report is done!' ;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
CAR MODEL
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script><!-- jQuery -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/projects/js/jquery/alerts/demo/jquery.alerts.js"></script><!-- jQuery Alerts -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/projects/js/jquery/alerts/demo/jquery.alerts.css" /><!-- jQuery Alerts -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
jAlert('!IBI.AMP.MESS;', 'Application Message');
}); // JQuery
</script>
</head>
-HTMLFORM END
