MSG - Sends A Message To The UPCALC Report#
Sends a user-defined message to the message table. This message may be used as a warning or to report an error to users.
Messages may be straight text, or may be a Variable. This will allow a standard message to be set up as a Global Variable and then used in several UserCalcs. Variables may be built or concatenated using the EQ Operator and using both Operand2 and Operand3 to contain both text and database items or other Variables.
Statement:If the Garnishment is less than original deduction than issue a message.
Statement:A message needs to be issued when an employee’s 401K/GRSP contribution reaches the yearly maximum. This maximum changes every year, so a User Variable ($C) will be used to print out the Limit amount. The message is longer than would fit in one operand field (see line 00110).
