Details

The message assigned to a FRAME entry displays on the message line when the frame is refreshed. Note that _getMsg may not return all system messages written to the message line.

Use the _getMsg method in an SCL program that is not running in a frame. For example, use this method for an SCL method, where the _MSG_ variable is not directly accessible.

You can call the _getMsg method with either the CALL NOTIFY routine or the CALL SEND routine. However, to access the _MSG_ variable in another frame, you must use CALL SEND because CALL NOTIFY works only within a frame.
