Re: Searching MAPICS message files

["Eric A. Wolf" <eric_a_wolf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

These may be new programs or modifications to MAPICS programs.  For example,
I maybe using the Reference field on panel 000 of order entry and am
requiring a field that has a MAPICS message for it.  To be consistent with
error messages (if a AMBxxxx message already exists), I want to use that
message.

Also, if I use my own message file, I have to write my own retrieval pgm.  I
don't want to add a message to MAPICS message files if I don't have to.
