Re: forms built-in message dialog window does not show

[Quoted] Message displays on the status bar (bottom left of the window), UNLESS another Message is sent right after the first. Where show_alert isn't needed we have a proc that does a message with what is passed to it and then a blank message right after to force a dialog to display the first message.

something like this

procedure show_msg( i_text string)
is
begin
  message( i_text );
  message( ' ' );
end;
