Introduction to MPE XL for MPE V Programmers Migration Guide

GENMESSAGE (NM) 
(changed) 

In MPE XL NM, the GENMESSAGE intrinsic parameters param1 through param5 
may now pass 32-bit pointer values instead of the 16-bit pointer values
used in MPE V/E systems.  MPE V/E and MPE XL CM use a 16-bit word for
data alignment; MPE XL NM uses a 32-bit word.  As a result, these
parameters may require a 32-bit value to match the Pascal integer type to
be passed by value if so specified in parmask.

Only the five parameters have changed, and only in MPE XL NM. All the
GENMESSAGE parameters in MPE XL CM, and all the other parameters in MPE
XL NM, remain the same as described in the MPE V/E Intrinsics Reference 
Manual (32033-90007).

For further information, refer to Chapter 10, Converting Data Types, and
to Message Catalogs Programmer's Guide (32650-90021).
