I am currently developing a session in baan, which uses stpapi functionality. It has become necessarry to perform an execute(add.set) command in the called session.

To achieve this, API.MODE must be set to false temporarily. However, this means that the screen is displayed (in black), and user intervention is required if a message should be displayed. For a particular instance, I can detect if my new session called the session and not display the message. This particular session has many instances, where it is possible that a message could be displayed.

Is there any way to set a flag or something in baan to stop messages being displayed, rather than putting a condition around each message ?


thanks

Would using a #define to alter the way mess() functions work for you? I haven't tried to use the same text I was defining within the definition (but you could try it), but you could always make up a DLL call that actually issued a mess() command. For example:

#define mess(...)
^ if API.MODE then
^ mydll.callmess(...)
^ endif

Obviously, it would be nicer/cleaner if line 3 could just be mess(...), but I don't know if that would cause recursion problems :eek: .

Just a thought.
