Messages
Messages are language-independent software components that allow
you to customize dialog messages.
For each message, you can specify:
- The message code. This is the unique identifier of the message
across all languages.
- The message type, e.g. "Warning".
- The message. This is the message text which you can edit and
translate. This message can contain codes that are substituted when the message
is displayed. For details on substitution symbols, refer to the description of
the sprintf$() function in the Infor ES Programmer's Guide.
See the following table for a sample message:
| Message code | Message
Type | Language | Message |
| tipcss0292 | Warning | 1
(Dutch) | Artikel reeds aanwezig als component in
productiestuklijst |
| 2 (English) | Item already found as
component in production BOM |
Messages are used in a variety of places within the
application. You can use messages:
- To replace the default reference error message on table
definitions
- Within program scripts and libraries
- To set error messages from a DAL
- As the contents of a form field using the form.text$
function
If a message is produced while a session is executing, a dialog
box is displayed, and you must click OK to continue. If the
session is running in a job, the message is logged in the job history
messages.
To create messages
You can create messages in the Messages (ttadv4551m000) session.
