A Broadcast Messages record is maintained. When users sign on or off the system, the Main Menu program will determine a message has been set up or not, and displays it accordingly. For the Emergency messages to be displayed, programs associated to any of the application need to make the appropriate subroutine call when accepting any screen fields.
