Message Editor

Use this editor to maintain the messages displayed to the user.

LN messages are language-dependent software components used to show situation-dependent information to the user. You can use LN messages to customize dialog messages.

Message codes can be included in program scripts and can be linked to these components:

  • Domains
  • Tables
  • Table fields
  • Form fields
  • And so on

For each message, you can specify this information:

  • The unique message code. This identifies the message across all languages.
  • The message type, such as "Warning", "Information", or "Critical".
  • The message. This is the message text which you can edit and translate. It can contain codes that are substituted when the message is displayed. For details on substitution symbols, see the description of the sprintf$() function in the Infor ES Programmers Guide (Infor Customer Portal KB2924522).
Note: The properties of the application assigned to the current software development project determine the following:
  • the primary language of a message
  • whether you can specify secondary languages
  • which languages are used as secondary languages

For more information on the application properties, see Create a new Application.

If an application does not have secondary languages, the message editor does not show the translation fields.
