Hi

Sorry for my bad English, but I still hope you will understand my problem.
In <Procedure editor->Help->Recent Messages> there is a list of
"Progress and operating system error messages generated during the session."
- this means list of ALL errors during WHOLE session.

My problem is that I can't recognize if errors appeared since my last "Run",
or they are generated earlier.
Some errors do not effect on screen, or Progress is "too fast"

Is any possibility to clear history of all errors in session (I don't want
to leave procedure editor to do that) ?
I can write my own procedure, but I don't know where Progress store these
informations (what system tables (_file) uses for that) ?

thanks for help

Greetings from Poland

All messages are stored in the promsgs file. I don't know that there is
a way to remove them since the beginning of the session. The messages
from the Procedure editor are stored in the ERROR-STATUS system handle
(a memory structure).

When using the procedure editor, make sure that
SESSION:SYSTEM-ALERT-BOXES = true, which forces all error and warning
messages to pop up as alert-boxes, instead of in the message area, which
should solve your problem.

yes, I know - this file contains all errors messages definitions

I don't think so ...
EROOR-STATUS - "A handle to error information on the last statement executed
with the NO-ERROR option."
last statement and LAST only , if you use NO-ERROR again previous errors
are cleared

thank you, if I use both:
SESSION:SYSTEM-ALERT-BOXES = true.
SESSION:APPL-ALERT-BOXES = true.
it should solve my problem

But I'm still curious how get access to whole session errors ...

have a nice day

Okay, that makes more sense on what you are after. If you extract your
source (or download the source from http://www.possenet.org), look in the
prohelp directory. The two files we use to grab the messages in the
Procedure editor are:
_rcntmsg.p &
msgs.i

Fell free to use this code to create your own version of the Procedure
Editor messages system..
