IOA messages can be adapted for local languages, site‑specific terminology, and so on.
IOA messages are stored in the IOA MSGnnn library, where nnn is a three-character language identifier (for example, ENG for English, GER for German). According to this naming convention, at English speaking sites the library is the IOA MSGENG library.
Throughout this guide, the English version of this library, IOAENG, is referenced. Substitute the appropriate library name where applicable if English is not the language at your site.
The messages are organized in members with the following naming convention:
XXXXXN |
where
Each member contains definitions for one or more messages. Each message is defined by the following structure:
Table 48 Structure of Messages
Item |
Description |
|---|---|
MSGCODE |
Code of the message. Do not change this code because it connects the message to the application program. |
<message> |
Text of the message. |
PARM |
Position of the text inserted into the message by the IOA application. Optional. The format of this parameter is: PARM=(pos1,pos2,...) where each pos parameter is the position of the inserted text in the message. Parameter PARM is optional, but must be used whenever it already exists in the message definition. When the contents of a message are modified, the position of the application generated area in the message may change, so the PARM field must be modified accordingly. The order of the fields in the PARM is not changed, but it is possible to change the order of appearance in the message by changing the positions. |
SCROLL |
Indication of how the message scrolls. Default=ASIS. For future use. |
Example
The following is the original message (from member IOAD8E):
MSGCODE=IOAD82E; SCROLL=ASIS |
The following is the modified message:
MSGCODE=IOAD82E; SCROLL=ASIS |
