There is a common gotcha when attempting to pass parameters to a Payroll Message using the “MSG BINDn PTR” elements.
If you get error number 508 from Message Set number 17005 saying “… Element pointer # has not been set.”, there is a good chance you have come across this issue.
When passing your parameter to the “MSG BINDn PTR” System Element (e.g. “MSG BIND1 PTR”) it is important that you set the element attributes for both the parameter being passed and the “MSG BINDn PTR” System Element to the “Use Element Number” setting.
To set this value select the “Attributes” icon next to the element.
Change the “Value/Pointer Selection” to “Use Element Number”.
This links/points the “MSG BINDn PTR” to the parameter.
