Hello,
I am executing a key-nxtblk trigger which does the following:

begin
next_block;
clear_block;
get_sum; <-----this is a procedure to select x rows into the block first_record;
end;

I am trying to get the message "Working..." to appear on the message line while the get_sum procedure is executing. I have tried putting the command message('Working...') in all spots of this trigger and in the procedure but it does'nt seem to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
