1356.0. "Customized Message files in ALL-IN-1.. how?" by MXOV09::LGODINEZ () Thu Sep 03 1992 20:53

Greetings,

I have a client using ALL-IN-1 V2.4 (Spanish version), the so call problem
is that there are some messages to long and the client only can type commands
no bigger than 2 characters.

For example:

While reading a mail if he wants to re-file that document he will type "RAD",
(this is "RFD" in Spanish) but there is only space to type two characters. 

If I understood note 90 I can't modify OAMESS.MSG via the Customization
Management and I need to use VMS message utility and relink All-IN-1
image.

I'm not an ALL-IN-1 expert so please forgive me if this sounds stupid but
what do I need to run (where and how) to customize those messages?


Thanks in advance,
Luis

    Why do you say your customer can only type 2 characters long commands?

    Hi,
    
    Re .1)
    
    Paola,
    
    When you read a mail/document, the line displayed after every page
    reads:
    
    	Press RETURN to continue, GOLD MENU for options or EXIT to cancel
    
    or:
    
    	RITORNO per continuare, PF1 MENU per menu o USCITA 	(Italian)
    
    The translation into Spanish might be longer and might be e.g. 77
    characters. There is one empty space between the message and your input
    which leaves 2 characters for any user input.

Luis,

Before you start modifying, keep in mind that when you change a menu option
from x to y characters you also need to change the menu options on the menu 
forms. It's not only the message file.

OAMESS.MSG can be found in OA$LLV_<language>:. 
(I would suggest to copy the file to OA$SITE_BUILD_<language>: first)
Then modify symbol MO_REFILE_DOCUMENT to whatever you want (you probably want
  to modify more menu options). 
Compile the message file via:

	$ MESSAGE/TEXT OAMESS
	$ LIBR/REPL/LO OA$LLV:OALLV OAMESS
	$ MESSAGE/NOTEXT OAMESS
	$ LIBR/REPL/LO OA$BUILD:OALIBR OAMESS

Relink OA$MAIN

HTH,

	Simon

    Hi Luis,
    
    I think you save a lot of work by just modifying the text displayed
    when reading documents:
    
      Press RETURN to continue, GOLD MENU for options or EXIT to cancel
    
    The message symbol is RETMEXIT in OAMESS.MSG.
    
    Ciao,
