I hope I have the correct forum.

My question is if there is a way to word wrap the output of a BW Message. Usually, the lines of output are on one line until the line is complete. This makes me scroll to the right to see the end of the message. I find myself scrolling to the right, then left, then right to get the gist of the message if it is longer than a few words on a line.

Thank you for your help

Good question and would be interested to see what others say. The only thing I know is that not all errors act the same - or at least that is what I have seen. One type of error gives 2 or 3 readable lines and another type gives one long line of errors. Users do not know to scroll to the right to get all the error, usually something in one of the log files gives us more info - but not always.

Hi,

As far as I remember mess understand the printf command so I think that if you add "\n" in your message a second line should be started after the "\n"

I think these are BW messages - not messages we generate. Could be a bad assumption on my part. You know how sometimes you get a bw message from a standard session and you have to scroll right to get all of the message in the BW window. I think those are what he was inquiring about.
