<h1 class="topictitle1">Create a message file</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>To create your own predefined messages, you must first create the
|
||
|
|
message file into which the messages are to be placed. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>Use the <span class="cmdname">Create Message File (CRTMSGF)</span> command
|
||
|
|
to create the message file. You then use the <span class="cmdname">Add Message Description
|
||
|
|
(ADDMSGD)</span> command to describe your messages and place them in the
|
||
|
|
message file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On the <span class="cmdname">Create Message File (CRTMSGF)</span> command,
|
||
|
|
you can specify the maximum size in K bytes on the SIZE parameter. The following
|
||
|
|
formula can be used to determine the maximum: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>S + (I x N)</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>where the following variables are true:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">S</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Is the initial amount of storage</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">I</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Is the amount of storage to add each time</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">N</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Is the number of times to add storage</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<p>The defaults for S, I, and N are 10, 2, and *NOMAX, respectively.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For
|
||
|
|
example, you specify S as 5, I as 1, and N as 2. When the file reaches the
|
||
|
|
initial storage amount of 5K, the system automatically adds another 1K to
|
||
|
|
the initial storage. The amount added (1K) can be added to the storage two
|
||
|
|
times to make the total maximum of 7K. If you specify *NOMAX as N, the maximum
|
||
|
|
size of the message file is 16M.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you specify a maximum size for
|
||
|
|
a message file and the message file becomes full, you cannot change the size
|
||
|
|
of the message file. You then need to create another message file and recreate
|
||
|
|
the messages in the new file. The <span class="cmdname">Merge Message File (MRGMSGF)</span> command
|
||
|
|
can be used to copy message descriptions from one message file to another.
|
||
|
|
Since you will want to avoid this step, it is important to calculate the
|
||
|
|
size needed for your message file when you create it, or specify *NOMAX.</p>
