Yes the message can be customized using the DDS keyword CHKMSGID.  You can
then use a MSGID of a message you create in a user-defined message file.

Subject: Error Checking


I have a question concerning error checking techniques using display
files. Currently, I can utilize a custom message file and message
subfile to display the error messages. This works fine. But another
technique that I do not really utilize is the VALUES keyword in DDS. If
an invalid value is entered I get an error message that displays
something like "Invalid value entered. Valid values in message help." I
like the immediacy of the VALUE message, but the error message is of
little or no value. Can this message but customized?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Erick
