Hi,
You only want the following textes to be translated into French or German?
If so, the German translation is:
Opt Message ID Severity Message Text
UTLCF03 0 F3=Exit --> F3=Verlassen
UT12001 0 Center text in field --> Text im Feld zentrieren
UT12002 0 Type text to be centered: --> Text zum
Zentrieren erfassen
UT12003 0 & friends --> &Freunde
UT12004 0 German --> Deutsch
UT12005 0 English --> Englisch
UT12007 0 French --> Französisch
UT12050 0 -= Center Text in field =- --> -= Text im Feld
zentrieren =-
We normally handle Multilanguage as follows:
1. Within the job we override the (language) message file depending on the
user and associated language within the starting program.
2. DDS (Display-Files) will automatically display the language text.
3. For Retrieving the level 1 message text we use a simple CL Program based
on the RTVMSG CL command using the overridden message file.
4. The CL is wrapped with an RPG Function returning the Level1 Msg Text:
--> MyMsgTxt = RtvMsgTxt('MSG4711');
5. we always have a message Id that consists only of a single place holder
&1. Using this message Id we can send a message in any language wherever we
want:
--> MyMsgTxt = RtvMsg('MSG4711');
--> SndMsg(DummyMsgId: MyMsgTxt: '': '*ESCAPE'); (=Sending an Escape
Message)
--> SndMsg('MSG4711': '': '*EXT'); (=Sending a Message to the external
message queue)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Re: RPG retrieval of MSGID text
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.

Yes, you are correct, Chuck. I mis-typed the example.
Yes, %msgid() would be just exactly what I am looking for.
Looking at the other suggestions, it occurs to me that perhaps I need
to first write & read a format with the MSGIDs I want to retrieve, as
hidden fields. Or something. Heh heh... more play time. Man I love
this platform.
