Dave is correct, this technique will work with a DIALOG.DEFN. You can embed any
SB+ expression within () in a DISP string (DISP 4 aka DIALOG or any of the
other types 1-9) and the processor will evaluate the expression before
displaying the value (and without interpreting backslashes).
/DIALOG.DEFN (Tools,Other,Dialog Box Defs) is the way to set up a dialog
definition. This will allow you to use DISP 4, 'DIALOG_ID' (where DIALOG_ID is
the name of your definition) in a process.
DISP 4, ... is same as: CALL SB.DISP(4,'DIALOG_ID') or EXEC DIALOG,DIALOG_ID or
even CALL SB.PROCESS('DIALOG,DIALOG_ID') depending if your calling context is a
PROCESS or SUBROUTINE.
Have a look at the SB+ Ref PDF - page 4-60 for more information.

Create a dialog definition and use an expression to contain your message.
Put your text in @VALUE. Use the "DIALOG" process to display the definition.
It should work fine.

I have just come across a problem that is sort of related to the problem with
UniQuery and single quotes noted in Dan's article. I thought that I would share
what is happening to see if there is an answer.
We are using Unidata 7.1 and SB+ 5.3. I have written a Basic program to extract
a file and when it finishes I will either display the error message or if it
was successful I want to print a message that tells them that they can find
their file at C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\filename.xml. The method that I use for
displaying the messages is CALL SB.DISP(4,"message here"). When I run the job
it does not display the message but if I remove the '\' characters it works
fine. Is there some way to get this message to display without removing the '\'
characters?
I find it very interesting that I have never seen this problem before and then
the very next day after reading the article by Dan McGrath it happens to me.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce
