Summary To create an application message catalog, you first produce a source file that contains directives (comment records, set records, and message numbers), messages, and special characters (&, %, ~, and !). Messages are identified by message and set number and may have run-time parameters inserted when accessed. After deciding on a naming convention, if you have Native Language Support (NLS) considerations, the source message catalog is then formatted by the GENCAT utility. The GENCAT program can be run by a job and sets JCWs to indicate success or failure of operations. The formatted message is accessed by the application program which then inserts run-time parameters and outputs messages to the user. This access is described in Chapter 3.
