Hi, Sudha

I think the way to do this is to have message files of the same name in 
different libraries for each language, then have a different library
list, 
depending on the language. This is basically what IBM does - they have
QSYS 
for the primary language, then they have QSYS2924, e.g., if US English
is 
your secondary language. Then you can use *LIBL, as Rick showed.

There are a number of UIM elements where the text comes from a message 
file. Now I see that these things might be resolved when the panel group
is 
created. It's not completely clear to me. The &msg symbol suggests that 
this is the case there. The other uses of a message file are not so
clear. 
This would mean that you should have the compiled panel groups in
separate 
language libraries.

As far as I know, there is no way to use a variable for the name of the 
message file.
