SysGetMessage

 
 Function: SysGetMessage 
 Syntax:   msg = SysGetMessage(num, [file] [str1],...[str9]) 
      msg       The message associated with the number given. 
      num       The message number. 
      file      The message file to be searched.  The default message file 
                is OSO001.MSG. Message files will be searched for in the 
                system root directory ( C:\), the current directory, and 
                along the DPATH. 
      str1,...str9 Insertion text variables.  If the message contains 
                insertion fields designated by %x, in the range %1 to %9, 
                then the optional parameters str1 through str9 may be used 
                to designate the replacement strings. 
 Purpose:  OS/2 applications commonly use message files to provide 
           National Language Support (NLS).  Message files contain text 
           strings which any application can reference by their associated 
           number. 
           Note:    Use the MKMSGF utility contained in the OS/2 
                    Programmer's Toolkit to create message files.  MKMSGF 
                    is documented in the Building Programs book included 
                    with the toolkit. 
           

           /*** Sample code segment using SysGetMessage and insertion text vars ***/
           msg =  SysGetMessage(34, , 'A:', 'diskette labeled "Disk 2"', 'SER0002')
           say msg
           
           /** Output **/
           The wrong diskette is in the drive.
           Insert diskette labeled "Disk 2" (Volume Serial Number: SER0002)
           into drive A:.
