<h2>dspmsg - Display message from message catalog</h2>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong></p>
<p><strong>dspmsg [-n] [-s</strong> <em>set</em><strong>]</strong>
<em>catalog msgid</em> <strong>[</strong> <em>defaultMsg</em>
<strong>[</strong> <em>arguments</em> ... <strong>] ]</strong></p>
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>dspmsg</strong> utility displays a message from a
message catalog created by the GENCAT CL command. The message is
written to standard output. The <strong>dspmsg</strong> utility can
be used as a replacement for <strong>echo</strong> or <strong>
print</strong> when a script needs to display messages that are
translated to multiple languages.</p>
<p><strong>Options</strong></p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>-n</strong></dt>
<dd>Display the specified message with no substitution.</dd>
<dt><strong>-s</strong> <em>set</em></dt>
<dd>Retrieve the message from the specified <em>set</em> in the
message catalog. The default value for <em>set</em> is 1.</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong>Operands</strong></p>
<p>The <em>catalog</em> operand specifies the path name to a
message catalog. If the catalog is specified using a relative path
name, the NLSPATH variable and the LC_MESSAGES locale catagory are
used to find the catalog.</p>
<p>The <em>msgid</em> operand specifies the message identifier to
retrieve from the message catalog.</p>
<p>When the specified <em>catalog</em> or <em>msgid</em> is not
found, the optional <em>defaultMsg</em> is displayed instead. If
the <em>defaultMsg</em> operand is not specified, a system
generated message is displayed.</p>
<p>The optional <em>arguments</em> are substituted into the output
message if it contains the %s, %n$s, %ld, or %n$ld printf()
conversion specifications. Any other conversion specifications are
not valid. Also, the normal control character escapes (for example,
\n) are supported.</p>
<p><strong>Exit Status</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>0 if successful</li>
<li>&gt;0 if an error occurred.</li>
</ul>
