Work with DC1 messages (ASTD49001)

The purpose of this program is two-fold and can be used for the following:

  1. Maintain all DC1 messages. Any messages you add are automatically generated into the ASWMSG message file.
  2. Translate all existing messages into any applicable language defined in the Language table.

Note: The translation of messages, via the applicable menu options in DC1, is normally done on Project level. If you have access to the TTT Translation tool, you can use that tool instead.

DC1 messages consist of the following:

  • Program unique messages
  • System messages (prefix SM)
  • Standard Field messages (prefix FA)

All messages are categorised by subsets. The DC1 messages for subset *STANDARD are delivered with the system.

Options


Note: This option is used to add Program unique and System messages.

Copy Select this option to copy a system message to within the same system library or to another system library. Note: No translation records are copied, only English messages and messages in ASWMSG.
Where used Select this option to see in which program(s) the message is used and subsequently drill down to the source code, thereby being able to see how the message is used.

Function keys

Work with/Display translations Access the Work with DC1 Message translations panel where you can translate the messages. When working with the translation process, you can toggle the messages in the following modes: All messages, Not translated, Translated.
