Hallo ®obi, i don’t know, if i understand your problem. i have testet the following code in Ver 2.60 and Ver. 3.70: MyText := ‘Discounts: A=5%, B=10%, C=15%’; MESSAGE(’%1’,MyText); and both version show ‘Discounts: A=5%, B=10%, C=15%’ on the screen. The first parameter of the MESSAGE is a format-string with % and a number as a placeholder and the other parameters are the values for the placeholders, but they are not required. br Josef Metz
