Replace Messages

To provide a different set of messages in English (or whatever default language you have chosen)

1. Provide a new member for your replacement messages.
2. Copy all or some of the messages into the replacement member. If you copy only the messages you will be replacing, CA-L-Serv uses text from the original message table for any message you do not replace.
3. Modify text as needed by modifying the MSG statements in your replacement member. Instructions in the message table tell you how to identify variables, how to concatenate lines, and so on.

   You can modify MSG statements in these ways:

   • You can change the three-character message prefix. For example, if you are running test and production copies of CA-L-Serv, you could change the test copy's prefix from LDM to TST. By doing this, you can distinguish test messages from production messages.
   • You can change the message text (which appears between single quotation marks).

   Do not change the prefix's length or the message number. It is recommended that you do not change the routing information for messages.

4. Identify your replacement member to CA-L-Serv.
