Why can you not use Error Message or ERRMSGID? Is this a question on a test or job application? Or is there an actual business case for this? If it is the later, please let us know why your compay will not allow it. If it one of the initial reasone, you need to do some homework yourself. Let us know the business case and we will be glad to help.

It sounds a interview or homework question to me.

Your questions sounds as you are just started to work with RPG, so I would suggest to fins some useful sites and make some homework. Here is one that would help you a lot:

The question involves displaying the content of a program variable in a display file. The program variable has its value assigned from an element of a “COMPILE TIME ARRAY”.

But the program variable is just another text variable, like a name or an address. The question is practically the same as “How do I display a name or address in a display file?”

Because this appears to be interview/homework as others have said, that’s about as far as an answer can go.
