Syntax

GOPTIONS: QMSG | NOQMSG

GDEVICE: QMSG=Y | N

QMSG QMSG=Y: queues driver messages while the device is in graphics mode (default for video devices).
NOQMSG QMSG=N: prevents the queuing of messages (default for plotters, cameras, and printers).

Details

Message queuing is desirable on display devices that do not have a separate dialog and graphics area. If messages are not queued, they are written to the log as the graphics output is being generated. This behavior may cause problems on some devices.

A blank Queued messages field in the Parameters window can mean either Y or N, depending on the device.
