MODIFY-DOCUMENTATION mask - Modify, add and delete documentation lines

Mask sequence

MENU

-> 10 ->

MODIFY-DOCUMENTATION

Function

This mask allows the user to modify or delete documentation lines that were written for one or more message units. New lines can also be added. By contrast with ADD-DOCUMENTATION, here the user can access all documentation lines.

The documentation lines are displayed in alphabetical order. Each line can be modified as follows:

• modified by overwriting

• deleted by typing in spaces or null characters.

Modifications in the code field are not saved to the message file until the input is finally acknowledged with DUE. The message codes and message ranges are then re-sorted in the list.

DUE together with “+” or “-” pages forward and backward in the mask. Modifications to the documentation lines are not saved.

Mask

Output fields

Message file

The current message file is displayed. It was opened in the MENU mask. The file name cannot be modified in the MODIFY-DOCUMENTATION mask.

 

Input fields

Msg-id, interval (message code/message range)

A message code can be modified, deleted or added in this field.
If the code field is deleted without the documentation line being deleted, MSGMAKER outputs the following message: MSMIF01

Only when the documentation line is completely deleted is no further error message output. A message range without documentation does not result in an error message.

Validity criteria:
Seven-character message code, of which the first three characters must be letters (message class). The limit values for a message range must belong to the same message class.
