Dear all,

Apologies for a dumb question but i've had a complete mind blank.

I have an update script used to update a large amount of records. Because of the volumes involved, it runs in iterations of 1000 recods at a time.

To be able to keep track of how far along the script is, after every iteration, it prints the current counter value.
What I want to know, (an I'm almost certain there is), is there a trasact sql statment I can use before the print to clear the messages window.

Currently it looks like this:

Iteration 1 Complete
Iteration 2 Complete
Iteration 3 Complete
Iteration 4 Complete
etc
etc

but I want it to clear the previous message before it prints the next count?

Any ideas?

dont think so.. if you think you are getting too many messages, perhaps you can increase the count to alternate iterations or some multiple of 3 or 4.
