4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 Message Fundamentals
Messages are made up of one or more fields. A message can be a single
field, for example, a text field, or it can contain several fields of varying
type and size.
Text is just one of the field types that you can incorporate into a message;
other types are logos, sequential numbers, time and date, and remote data.
The following illustration shows an example message, as viewed at the
EDIT MESSAGE screen, containing the different field types:
