The **Text and Graphics with Optional Buttons Message** can be used to display static (non-scrolling) user text and graphics, as well as optional buttons. Buttons and static text and graphics are placed in three screen areas, whose heights can be configured (0 = do not display). These areas are, from top to bottom:
- Button area -- IDENTICAL TO 011 -- Up to four virtual buttons can be displayed at the top of the screen. As for Tag 010, a virtual button will only be displayed if data is entered in the request descriptor field for the button (ButtonNDesc). The vertical extent of this area is defined (as a percentage of screen height) by a request field; 20(%) is recommended. Buttons are centered in the button area. Button descriptor font size is defined by a request field (see samples below). Maximum button descriptor length is device-specific.
- Static text area -- IDENTICAL TO 011 -- The vertical extent of this area is defined (as a percentage of screen height) by a request field. Other request fields define the font size and justification of static text. The maximum number of characters per line depends on the font size and device. The maximum number of lines of static text depends on the height of the area, the font size, and the device.
- Graphics area -- The vertical extent of this area is whatever is left over from the first two areas. It can contain up to two graphics side by side.

Pressing the Enter key is not required after pressing a virtual button.

The **Text and Graphics with Optional Buttons Response** returns the button pressed by the customer. Request fields (AllowEnter, AllowCancel) control whether the (hard) Enter and Cancel keys can be used.
