For a useful variation, create a message description that has
1st-level text consisting of nothing but the seven-character
message ID. E.g.:

 ===> addmsgd  msgid(ABC1001) msgf(myLib/myMsgF) +
               msg(ABC1001) +
               seclvl('The real text is here...')

When such a message is used in a message field, the 2nd-level
text is used automatically. The advantage is that the 2nd-level
text can be much longer than 1st-level text and the message field
on the screen can be much longer than a single display line.

I.e., rather than having four 80-character message fields on
consecutive lines, you could have a single 320-character message
field that spans four lines. Only one message ID needs to be
maintained.
