Converting Model Messages

You can recreate all the message descriptions from a model in a single step using the Convert Model Messages (YCVTMDLMSG) command.

There is generally no need to run this command because changes to message functions in the model are automatically applied to the associated message file in the generation library.

Two reasons you might use this command are:

• To merge the message files for two applications
• To create messages in a separate library

Note: If you want to use the CA 2E shipped default messages, such as *No value selected, in an environment that does not include the CA 2E product libraries, use the Duplicate Application Objects (YDUPAPPOBJ) command.

CA 2E-shipped default messages reside in the message file, Y2USRMSG. User-generated run time messages reside in the file specified by the Message File Name (YMSGVNM) model value. The YCVTMDLMSG command creates both message files automatically if necessary.
