Modifying or Replacing the Advisory Message
Routine
The MSGNUM parameter is the internal message number as given in the list of
advisory messages in this appendix, or as returned by the user conversion procedure.
If new error-message numbers are to be used (through the use of user conversion
procedures), the numbers should be larger than 100 to avoid conflict with future
Pathway error numbers.
The BUF parameter is a string buffer where the text associated with MSGNUM should
be placed. The text cannot be longer than 255 characters.
The MESSLEN parameter should be set to the length of the text returned.
After revising the standard advisory message procedure or coding a new one,
compiling the procedure with the pTAL compiler, and removing all compilation errors,
build the user library by using the following command:
advisory-msg-object
is the pTAL object file.
$ volume
is the volume where the installation subvolume ZPATHWAY resides.
native-user-library
is the native user library object file used by the TCP.
Example A-1 provides a sample of the source listing for the standard
ADVISORY^MESSAGE procedures. This listing can be modified and used for foreign-
language versions.
