The message definition file SYSMSH.UTM.070.MSGFILE supplied with openUTM contains the texts of the UTM messages in German and English. If openUTM is to output messages in another language, users can translate the UTM message texts into this language and incorporate them in the message definition file by using the KDCMTXT tool.
You can only make modifications and extensions to the message definition file using the KDCMTXT utility. Other methods of write access, e.g. using an editor will destroy the file!
The texts must be passed to KDCMTXT in the form of special control statements. On the basis of this extended message definition file, KDCMMOD can then be used to create the ASSEMBLER source program for a new message module, containing the messages in the desired language. KDCMMOD is described starting on "Generating a user-specific message module with KDCMMOD". After it has been assembled, this message module can be linked into the user’s application in place of the system message module.
Note
When defining message text, the inserts allowed for the corresponding message may only be used once.
