Purpose
Display an error message.
Synopsis
`void dispmsg(XPRMcontext ctx, const char *format, ...);`
Arguments

ctx | Mosel's execution context or NULL
format | printf style format

Further information
1. This function sends an error message to the error output stream of the model corresponding to the given context. If the context provided is NULL, the messages go to the global error output stream of Mosel. The parameters expected by this function correspond to those of the standard C function printf. The special format %r can also be used to display real values: it implies the use of the format specified by control parameter realfmt (see getparam).
2. An error stream is always available even before and after execution of the model.
