147.0. "Creating multiple warning and logout files" by KAOA00::OTOU01::BEKOLAY (Richard Bekolay GIA Software Dev) Fri Mar 25 1994 16:34

I have just installed ZAP052 for a customer. This customer has a special need to
have a unilingual French and English, Warning and Logout messages.
Is there a way to have ZAP look at different files for the messages? I have 
tried creating separate message files and redefining the logical ZAP$WARNING, 
but without any success.

It looks like the message, logout, and config files are read when ZAP is 
started logical are not used to get the information. Is this correct?
BTW: The only way I could affect changes in the 
configuration file was to stop the ZAP monitor and then restart ZAP.

One additional question. If I specify a exception rule for a given username
but leave the UIC as [*,*] , will this rule be used for all uic's regardless of
the username.



Thanks for the Assistance

Hi,

	If I understand what you want to do:  You want to create a warning and
logout message that contains multiple languages.

	ZAP does not support the re-definition of the warning and logout logical
names.  The message files must be called ZAP$DIR:ZAP$WARNING.DAT and
ZAP$DIR:ZAP$LOGOUT.DAT (or ZAP$DIR:ZAP$WARNING_nodename.DAT and ZAP$DIR:ZAP$
LOGOUT_nodename.DAT).

	The logical names are translated at the time that ZAP is started via
SYS$STARTUP:ZAP$STARTUP.COM.

	To address your second question, a bug in ZAP v5.2 prevents the
nodename and username fields from working correctly.  Use only UIC specifications
at this time until a fix is released.  That fix will be announced in this
notes conference.
