This command not allowed when running as an NT Service or in a locked minimized window.
This script command displays a dialog box on your display. The window title and text within the dialog are specified in the command. Control returns to next script command when you close the dialog by clicking on the OK or Cancel buttons. This command is useful to prompt for file names or other information that is not static during the course of a file transfer session.
If FileLink is running a script in a unlocked minimized window then FileLink’s window will be restored when this command is performed.
The script file can detect if the Cancel button has been clicked by testing for result code 1013 or the $ERROR variable $ERROR_PROMPT_CANCELLED.
