CBL_NLS_READ_MSG

Syntax:

call "CBL_NLS_READ_MSG" using     msg-file-handle
                                  full-msg-number
                                  msg-ins-struct
                                  msg-buffer
                        returning status-code

Parameters

msg-file-handle

Call prototype (see Key): cblt-x4-compx .

Picture: pic x(4).

full-msg-number

Group predefined as cblt-nls-msg-params containing:

01 cblt-nls-msg-params          typedef.
  03 cblte-nmpb-set-number      cblt-x2-compx. 	*> pic x(2) comp-x.
  03 cblte-nmpb-number          cblt-x2-compx. 	*> pic x(2) comp-x.
  03 cblte-nmpb-max-buffer-len  cblt-x2-compx. 	*> pic x(2) comp-x.
  03 cblte-nmpb-actual-msg-len  cblt-x2-compx. 	*> pic x(n) comp-x.
  03 cblte-nmpb-flags           cblt-x2-compx. 	*> pic x(2) comp-x.

msg-ins-struct

Group predefined as cblt-nls-msg-ins-struct containing:

01 cblt-nls-msg-ins-struct      typedef.
  03 cblte-nmis-ins-count       cblt-x2-compx.  *> pic x(2) comp-x.
  03 cblte-nmis-ins-pointer     cblt-pointer.   *> usage pointer.
                                                *> Occurs depending on ins-count.

msg-buffer

Call prototype (see Key): pic x(n).

Picture: pic x(n).

status-code

See Library Routines - Key.

On Entry:

msg-file-handle: The identifying handle of the message file to fetch the message from.
cblte-nmnp-set-number: The set in the message file to fetch the message from.
cblte-nmnp-number: The message number in the message set to fetch the message from.
cblte-nmis-ins-count: The number of portions of text to insert in the message.
cblte-nmis-ins-pointer: A pointer to a null-terminated portion of text to insert in the message.
cblte-nmb-buff-len: The length of msg-buff-text.

On Exit:

cblte-nmb-buff-text

The returned text (null-terminated).

status-code

Indicates whether the routine was successful:

0	Success
40	NLS module not initialized
401	Message set not found
402	Message not found in set
403	Message too long for message text buffer
404	Invalid `msg-file-handle`

If status-code contains a value other than these, it is the number of a run-time error message.

Comments:

In each message file, messages are divided into sets; this enables you to define your own message set in the default message file if you want. This routine also enables you to insert portions of text in a message fetched from the message file in the order appropriate to the rules of the grammar for the national language
