The following overview contains all the statements that the MSGMAKER utility routine offers for message processing:
MSGMAKER statements | Function |
|---|---|
//ADD-DOCUMENTATION | Add documentation (person responsible for messages, comment) for messages |
//ADD-MSG | Add one or more message units to the current message file. |
//COPY | Copy components of a message file (message units, documentation lines) from one message file to another or to a different location within the same message file. |
//DELETE-DOCUMENTATION | Delete the documentation (person responsible for messages, comment) for messages |
//DELETE-MSG | Delete one or more message units from the current message file. |
//END | Terminate MSGMAKER; the open message files are closed. |
//MERGE-MSG-FILES | Merge the entire contents of two or more message files in one message file |
//MODIFY-DOCUMENTATION | Modify the documentation for messages |
//MODIFY-MSG | Modify one or more message units in the current message file. |
//MODIFY-OPTION | Specify whether (parts of) message units may be overwritten. |
//MOVE | copy components of a message file (message units and documentation lines) from one message file to another or to a different location within the same message file. Unlike the //COPY statement, this statement also deletes the source area. |
//OPEN-MSG-FILE | Open a message file. |
//SHOW | Output message units and the corresponding documentation lines to SYSOUT or SYSLST. |
In addition, the general SDF statements may be used. These statements are described in detail in the “SDF Dialog Interface” [20 (Related publications)].
