Summary

The following are the RPG/LE fully free-form definitions and instructions needed for using the Get Message Text service procedure. This service procedure simply allows the caller to retrieve the 1st and 2nd-level message text for a message id. Message substitution data may also be supplied.

By Dave Clark

Service Prototype

Place the following in a separate copybook for inclusion in both the caller and the service program source members.

//==============================================================================
// This routine returns 1st and 2nd-level message texts for a specified message
// file message id -- merging any substitution data, if supplied.
// Note that any supplied substitution data must be a single string of data
// with individual elements appropriately left-zeroed or right-blank padded and
// then concatenated together in the format expected by the parameters of the
// message definiton for the associated message id.
//==============================================================================
dcl-pr GenUtl_GetMessageText      ind;
  pMsgId                char(7)   const;
  pMsgData              varchar(3000) const options(*omit);
  pMsgText              varchar(300);
  pHelpText             varchar(3000)       options(*nopass:*omit);
  pMsgFile              char(10)  const     options(*nopass);
  pMsgLib               char(10)  const     options(*nopass);

Service Procedure
