Windows C User Exits › Windows Blockmode User Exits › TIRMTQB—Message Table Exit › Purpose

Purpose

This message table exit is called by the runtime when a system-level message is to be displayed. The user can customize the wording of the messages within this exit. Additional tables can also be defined to support other dialects.

The default table includes an entry for each CA Gen runtime error message. Each entry includes the following information:

• Message Number—The message number is permanently assigned by CA Gen. Each message has a unique number.
• Message Text—The message text is the actual words that appear on the application screen when an error occurs. The message text, and any variable values that can be appended, is truncated if it exceeds the length of the error message line defined for the application screen. The error message line is a maximum of 80 characters of which 12 are reserved for the message number.

If the message number is not in the table, TIRMTQB returns a default message.
