Hi all,
I am running a procedure from form 6i using when button pressed.while it runs I want to display message that the program is running. If I use message(' kkkkkk;); it display at the bottom and it is hard to see. If I use alert, once they click okay, there is nothing telling them that the program is still running. My question is , is there any other way of display message while the program runs and i can use alert to tell them it finised.
Thanks A lot

one way of taking care of this situation is to
create a text/display item and change the text from the procedure.
.e.g
lets say you created a text item called process_status.
in your procedure you can say
delcare
begin
:process_status :=' Procedure Started';
..
..
..
:process_status := 'Calculating the results...';
..
..
..
:process_status := 'Process Completed Successfully.';
EXCEPTION
when others then
:process_status := 'Errorencountered';
END;
you can even change the font and color so that it attracts the user's attention.
Hope this helps.
