Willy,

Use the CRTS36MSGF command. It's also useful if you want to convert to a
native message file. It will generate a CL program containing the
commands to create the message file and add all of the messages to it.
Before running the command, it's a good idea to go through the message
file source and examine each "#" character, as this indicates a
substitution value. CRTS36MSGF will religiously create parameters for
each, and quite often the intent was to display the "#" character
itself. The fix is to replace each "#" that is not a real substitution
value with another character that does not appear in the source file
(like @ or |), allow CRTS36MSGF to generate CL source, and then put the
"#" characters back in before running the CL program.
