    Hi,
    
    I have a customer with a problem on "multiline window". When the
    operator select one line to set knowlede of problem the action routine
    start again.
    
    Is this PCM or environment problem?
    
    Thanks
    
    Paolo

|     Are you saying that when you click on a line to Acknowledge an event
    that another Multi-Line Window will appear in addition to the original
    one? 
    
    Regards,
       Dan

    Paolo,
    
    
    Acknowledge or clear an event in the multi-line window generates
    internally in PCM a new event. This event has the same characteristics
    as the original event, with exception of:
    -  the event type is CMEventTypeAck (resp. CMEventTypeClear)
    -  the source (normally "Console") is changed to the Acknowledge
       or Clear string.
    
    
    I guess you customer has an action routine that executes when an event
    occurs, and in parallel displays the event text in a multi-line window.
    
    Ack or clear that event, generates again the same event, and the action
    routine is executed again.
    
    Best solution is:
    - if the action routine is a DCL procedure: check the source of the
    event, and exit immediately if the source is not "Console".
    - if the action routine is an exe: check for the type of the event, and
    don't care if the type is not CMEventTypeEvent (= 1).
    
    Hope this helps.
    
    Johan
