<h1 class="topictitle1">Use message catalogs</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The operating system can use message catalogs to store messages.
|
|
Messages in a message catalog are grouped as sets. Each message has a unique
|
|
number within a set. You can create a message catalog as a stream file, a
|
|
source file member, or a user space object type from one or more source files.</p>
|
|
<p>Because you can store message catalogs as stream files, you can use directories
|
|
to isolate messages for specific products or national language versions.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Create or update a message catalog with the GENCAT and MRGMSGCLG
|
|
commands</h4><p>You can use both the Generate Message Catalog (GENCAT)
|
|
command or the Merge Message Catalog (MRGMSGCLG) command to create or update
|
|
a message catalog. When a message catalog exists, continued use
|
|
of these commands updates a catalog by comparing the original messages to
|
|
the messages in the source. New message text replaces specific messages without
|
|
changing the other messages within the set. With these commands, you can add
|
|
or delete messages from an existing set of messages. You can also delete sets
|
|
of messages from an existing message catalog.</p>

The source for a message catalog is either a source physical file, a stream file, or multiple files. The source contains fields to define set numbers, message numbers, message text, or to specify sets to delete.</li>
