- In almost all the forms I build I create a block called special. It is not
- a database table and it hold special fields. Like a one liner at the
- bottom of each page. I use it for messages. The user will not have to
- ack them and I can use it to test what my last message was. So to display
- something I do:
- :special.pg1message := 'test text';
- It works ok but you may have to do things like go_block and go_page
- to flush it to display.
