Changing Text in Standard Source Banner

All CA 2E-generated source contains a standard banner, along with a title line and compiler override line. These lines include the information needed for the CA 2E Toolkit compile pre-processor to compile objects. The banner consists of:

• Generated by—The version data
• Type—Such as Edit File or Retrieval Index
• Company name—From the YCMPTXT model value
• System—From the YMDLTXT model value
• User name—The user profile name
• Date—Includes the job date and time
• Copyright—From the YCMPTXT model value

CA 2E retrieves the text for the standard banner in all source types from the messages file Y2MSG. If you want different text in the banner, you can change the message text for these messages using the i OS Work Message Description (WRKMSGD) command.

For more information on WRKMSGD, see the Application System/400 Programming: Control Language Reference.

The following table lists the messages used in the standard source banner. These messages are stored in Y2ALCMSG in the language dependent object (LDO) library, Y2SYVENG.

Note: You will need to re-apply any changes to the banner after each CA 2E product upgrade.
