Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Specify a result field on the DSPLY statement and that’ll fix Your problem! May be You can’t use FREE no longer, I’m not sure …

2. Modify your program and compile it.

Example from RPG manual

/free
// Display prompt and wait for response:
dsply prompt ” result;
/end-free

Just replace prompt with ‘Hello’.

since you have a "MESSAGE" operand, you can add a field to the "RESPONSE" operand. The system will wait for a response.
