Put Message in the Monitor

Question

I am trying to write a message to the monitor from the start routine of my update rules.  I am using the below code:
      MONITOR-MSGID = 'RSM1'.
      MONITOR-MSGTY = 'I'.
      MONITOR-MSGNO = 799.
      MONITOR-MSGV1 = 'Load Error: '.
      MONITOR-MSGV2 = 'No Material for Specification: '.
      MONITOR-MSGV3 = wa_dp-ehs_spec.
      append MONITOR.
However, the only message that shows up in the monitor is "*****  Scheduler".  I do not get the error message text that I specify to show up in the monitor.  Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Hello Mark,
Depending on the BW version and the supportpackage level, an error can occur when the monitor functions are used. This is described in SAP Note 886222 “Note 859813 - MSGNO is not displayed in monitor.”
The monitor entries are filled with the custom messages in the start routine but the values in  MSGNO and MSGV1 of the message are not passed to the monitor and are not displayed. This note corrects a problem that was introduced with note 859813. 
If the BW system is on the support package level described below, the problem can occur.
BW release     3.0 B     
Problem occurs in SP 28          
Problem solved in SP 29
BW release     3.1C (content)     
Problem occurs in SP 22          
Problem solved in SP 23
BW release     3.5      
Problem occurs in SP 14           
Problem solved in SP 15
Hope this helps
