Creating a Formatted Catalog
To create a catalog, you must first create a source file and then format
it with the MAKECAT utility.
Source files for MAKECAT are EDIT/V files, with set numbers 1-255, and
message numbers 1-32,766. The MAKECAT utility is used to build message
catalogs (and HELP catalogs). The program's input file has the formal
designator INPUT. MAKECAT reads from the input file and builds a
temporary file with the formal designator CATALOG that exists in your
group and account. MAKECAT also renames any old temporary CATALOG to
CATnn, using an incremental numbering scheme (for example, CAT1, CAT2).
To use MAKECAT to build your own message catalog from a source named
SOURCE, enter:
:FILE INPUT=SOURCE
:RUN MAKECAT.PUB.SYS
VALID MESSAGE CATALOG
:SAVE CATALOG
