Define printer file variants

Variants per printer file are defined in 'Printer File Variants. Open' (CMS004). Printer file variants are predefined and can be modified according to selection.

Selection in naming printer file variants

There are different ways to set how printer file variants should be named:

  • Alternative 1

    No label is included.

  • Alternative 2 - Standard label

    The standard M3 message ID is used from the table where the field originates. Translation is taken from message file MVXCON.

  • Alternative 3 - Overriding message

    An overriding M3 message ID and message file can be specified. If no message file is specified, MVXCON is used.

  • Alternative 4 - Overriding name

    An overriding text can be specified. The overriding text can be 1-40 characters long. Translation is specified by using the language button.

    The check box 'Fallback to standard msg' is used when the language set for the printer file is not specified in the language button. If the check box is activated, 'Standard message ID' is used as a label in the XML for a field, section and variant. If the check box is not activated, XML label of a field, section or variant will be no label.
