MESSAGES OFF

	Does not require any parameters

Description

The MESSAGES OFF and MESSAGES ON commands turn on and off the progress meters displayed by 4D while executing time-consuming operations. By default, messages are on.

The following table shows operations that display the progress meter:

Apply Formula	Quick Report	Order by
Export Data	Import Data	Graph
Query by Form	Query by Formula	Query Editor

The following table lists the commands that display the progress meter:

APPLY TO SELECTION
Average
BUILD APPLICATION
DISTINCT VALUES
EXPORT DIF
EXPORT SYLK
EXPORT TEXT

IMPORT DIF
IMPORT SYLK
IMPORT TEXT
Max
Min
ORDER BY
ORDER BY FORMULA
QR REPORT
QUERY
QUERY BY FORMULA
QUERY BY EXAMPLE
QUERY SELECTION
QUERY SELECTION BY FORMULA
REDUCE SELECTION
RELATE MANY SELECTION
RELATE ONE SELECTION
SCAN INDEX

Note for 4D Server: Progress message windows are not shown on the server since these operations are automatically listed on the _o_PAGE SETUP of the administration window. If you want to force these progress windows to be displayed, you must call the MESSAGES ON command on the server.

Example

The following example turns off the progress meter before doing a sort, and then turns it back on after completing the sort:

 MESSAGES OFF

 ORDER BY([Addresses];[Addresses]ZIP;>;[Addresses]Name2;>)
