Build Messages grid

This grid is enabled only when the message in the main grid is a constraint type message, that is, Type 17 or 18.

Use the Sequence Number to specify which substitution expression  in the base message is being substituted. Use Sequence 1 for substitution expression &1, Sequence 2 for &2, etc.

To reference the text that will be substituted for the expression, use one of these options:

  • Specify a Message Number that is already defined on the Maintain Application Messages form.
  • Specify an Object Name that is already defined on the Maintain Application Message Objects form. In this case, specify MG_1 as the Message Number and select a value in the Object Name column to look up the appropriate substitution text.

After you select the message number or object name, the Message Text field displays the text that will replace the substitution expression when the message is displayed to the user.
