National Language Support › Translating a Generated Model › Choosing Implementation Level

Choosing Implementation Level

You choose the level at which to externalize constants before generating your application. Each level allows specific controls as follows:

• Model level—Full application control of the generating options. Set model value YPMTGEN to *MSGID using the YCHGMDLVAL command.
• Function level—Control of the function. On the Edit Function Options panel in the Screen Text Constants field, enter M (MSGID).
• Field level—Flexibility for each constant on a panel or report. At Edit Screen Entry Details in the Screen Text field, enter M (MSGID).

The message ID allocation is a single character prefix followed by six generated characters (xYYYYYY). You can modify the single character prefix from Edit Generation Types.

Note: If you do not have the national language library for your generated language, you will need to translate the message file Y2USRMSG in your translated objects library after YCVTCNDVAL execution, CA 2E-generated help text, and any user-defined help.
