Retrieve Message File Command

The Toolkit command Retrieve Message File (YRTVMSGF) allows you to retrieve a message file into a CL source member. The CL source member will contain the CL instructions necessary to add, change, or remove messages (or a range of messages) from the message file.

This utility can be of use:

• When you need to translate messages into other National languages: it is generally easier to carry out the text editing of messages using SEU rather than the command entry display. This is especially true for IGC versions of i OS, when ideographic message text must be entered using SEU.
• When merging or reconciling messages files, for instance when development has been taking place on two different machines

Refer to the command diagram for an example of the CL which is generated by the YRTVMSGF command.
