statusmessage

View status messages in SAP.

The statusmessage command is used when it is necessary to view messages relating to the status of a particular SAP session or connection. The command is typically executed within a function and produces the following outcomes:

All messages are displayed in an onscreen message box. The syntax to define the onscreen box that will contain the status message is as follows:

statusmessage({"title":"Title", "size":[rows, cols], "position":[startRow, startCol]});

Options

The statusmessage command takes the following options:

addstring

Adds a custom message within the dialog box (listbox). The syntax is:

{"addstring":"new message string"}

Variables can be used with this option to pass content to the statusmessage. If a variable is used, the syntax is as shown below:

{"addstring":variable_name}
position

Specifies the onscreen position of the messagebox. The syntax is:

{"position":[startRow, startCol]}
remove

Removes the listbox from the screen. Do not use this in the initial statusmessage command or the listbox will disappear even as it is called. The syntax is:

{"remove":true}
size

Specifies the size of the onscreen listbox in rows and columns. The syntax is:

{"size":[rows,cols]}
title

Creates the title of an onscreen listbox. As in the case of the addstring option, variables can be used to pass content to the status message. The syntax is:

{"title":"title_string"}

Variables can also be used to designate the title. If a variable is used, the syntax is as follows:

{"title":variable_name}
