Re: RPG retrieval of MSGID text

You can use a screen field with the MSGID DDS keyword.
This MSGID requires 2 programme-to-systemfields: the name of the MSGF and the MSGID.
When those p-to-s fields are filled the first level text as-is (no substitution variables inserted) will be shown.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler

Tonight I have been playing with the problem of different users needing
different languages. Using MSGFs is working well, however I am
stumbling on one aspect. (Besides the one of only knowing one language,
of course.)

Populating a field in the DDS works well enough, however I also need to
populate a field in an RPG program with a specific message from a
specific message file.

Something like:
wText = MSGID(*LIBL/FILENAME UTL12004)

where UTL12004 is the level 1 text in a specific MSGF.

Any ideas?
