Syntax

GOPTIONS: QMSG | NOQMSG
GDEVICE: QMSG=Y | N

QMSG
QMSG=Y

NOQMSG
QMSG=N
prevents the queuing of messages (default for plotters, cameras, and printers).

Details

Message queuing is desirable on display devices that do not have a separate dialog box and graphics area. If messages are not queued, they are written to the log as the graphics output is being generated. This behavior can cause problems on some devices.
A blank Queued messages field in the Parameters window can mean either Y or N, depending on the device.
