Editing an information message

Use this procedure to edit an information message. Information messages are located in the <Prefix>MSG<lng code> files.

Note:  The message ID cannot be modified. Only the Message field and any type (CHAR or DEC) can be edited. A heading can be edited only if the user has a green lock icon.
  1. In the Language Objects pane, select a message that you want to edit. The Edit MSG Object pane is displayed.
  2. Select Information Message. The properties are displayed.
  3. Specify this information:
    Message ID
    You cannot modify the Message ID. This is a read-only field.
    Message
    Specify the content of the information message. The field can accommodate up to 128 characters.
    Type (1-4)

    Select the type of the substituted variable:

    • Character

    • Decimal

    The Type lists are enabled when you type &1, &2, &3, or &4 in the Message field, where &1, &2, &3, or &4 are the variables that are substituted with the type that you select.

    Length
    Type the length of the character or decimal type.
    Decimal (1-4)
    Specify the number of decimals that a decimal type displays. The integer values are from 0 through 9. For example, if the length of the decimal type is set to 4, and that of the Decimals is set to 2, then the value presented is 1234.42.
  4. Click the object name to reflect the changes. An asterisk (*) is displayed on the second column of the modified message in the Language Objects pane.
