I'm not quite sure what you mean, your English isn't quite correct but here goes.
to message in rl5k you first have to create a tag of msg type in the "controller" tags.
you will have to select the type of message and select the
tag you just created by clicking on the selection box and pick it from the drop down list. that will get you started

read this manual to learn more

If I understand your question correctly you want to create a program scoped tag. There at least 2 tag datadases in every RSLogix project. One for the controller scoped tags and one for every program in the controller. In the program tree if you expand the Task folder and then expand the Main Program folder you will see the program tag database. This is where you will create program scoped tags.

What you are trying to do is not allowed.

MSG instructions cannot use program tags. You must use only Controller tags. The destination will include the name of the Controller Tag in the destination. You cannot specify a Program Tag.

Max was kind enough to post a link to the manual that covers messaging. On page 13 there is a "Guidelines" section. Read it before continuing any further.
