Re: RPG retrieval of MSGID text

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Replying to my own post...

OK.  two problems I haven't solved:

First, writing an initial screen with the MSGIDs as hidden fields yields 
the messages I want in my RPG program program.  The bad part is that I 
can't figure out how to write & read the screen without it ever 
appearing to the user, and without needing a user to click the screen to 
advance.  Is there a way to write & read with no stop & no flash?

Second, since I am trying to use this to show different languages, is 
there someone willing to translate these messages into French & German 
(or any other language for that matter).  If so, please send the 
translations to my e-mail.  Thank you.

Opt  Message ID  Severity  Message Text
      UTLCF03        0     F3=Exit
      UT12001        0     Center text in field
      UT12002        0     Type text to be centered:
      UT12003        0     & friends
      UT12004        0     German
      UT12005        0     English
      UT12007        0     French
      UT12050        0     -= Center Text in field =-

(I am looking forward to adding this page to my web site.)
