<h1 class="topictitle1">Override message files</h1>
|
|
<div><p>You can override message files used in a procedure or program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>The creation (Override Message File command), deletion (Delete
|
|
Override command), and display (Display Override command) of message file
|
|
overrides is similar to other types of overrides. Here, however, only the
|
|
name of the message file, not the attributes, is overridden, and the rules
|
|
for applying the overrides are slightly different.</p>
|
|
<p>To override a message
|
|
file, use the <span class="cmdname">Override Message File (OVRMSGF)</span> command.
|
|
The file overridden is specified in the MSGF parameter; the file overriding
|
|
it is specified in the TOMSGF parameter.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, to override QCPFMSG
|
|
with a user message file named USRMSGF, the following command would be used:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>OVRMSGF MSGF(QCPFMSG) TOMSGF(USRMSGF)</pre>
|
|
<p>When a predefined message is retrieved or displayed, the overriding
|
|
file is searched for a message description. If the message description is
|
|
not found in that file, the overridden file is searched.</p>
|
|
<p>There are
|
|
several basic reasons to override message files: </p>
|
|
<ul><li>To provide changed default replies or dump lists. A message file can
|
|
be created with message descriptions for messages with changed default replies
|
|
or dump lists because those in the original message descriptions are not satisfactory.
|
|
You can establish several operating environments, each with different default
|
|
replies.</li>
|
|
<li>To change severity levels of the messages.</li>
|
|
<li>To provide a default program.</li>
|
|
<li>To change the text of a message. If the text is blank, it appears to
|
|
the user as if no message was sent. For example, you may not want the status
|
|
message sent by the <span class="cmdname">Copy File (CPYF)</span> command
|
|
to appear to the user.</li>
|
|
<li>To provide translation of messages into national languages. Message files
|
|
written in English can be overridden by message files written in other languages.
|
|
(If all messages are changed, use the library list for the job to change
|
|
the order of the message files instead of overriding the message files.)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Another way you can select the message file from which messages are
|
|
to be retrieved is by changing the order of the files in the library list
|
|
for the job. However, if you use this approach, the search for the message
|
|
stops on the first message file found that has the specified name. If the
|
|
message is not in that file, the search stops.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, assume that
|
|
a message file named USRMSG is in library USRLIB1, and another message file
|
|
named USRMSG is in library USRLIB2. To use the message file in USRLIB1, USRLIB1
|
|
should precede USRLIB2 in the library list:</p>
|
|
<br /><img src="rbafn507.gif" alt="In this example assume that a message file named USRMSG is in library USRLIB1, and another message file named USRMSG is in library USRLIB2. To use the message file in USRLIB1, USRLIB1 should precede USRLIB2 in the library list." /><br /><p>The system searches the first
|
|
message file found with the correct name. If that file does not contain the
|
|
message, the search stops. However, if you use the OVRMSGF command, the system
|
|
searches the overriding file, and if the message is not there, it searches
|
|
the overridden file.</p>
