Template Definition (MSG) Statement

One MSG statement can contain the source information for both a format template and

an override template.

Example 3-8 shows value substitution (<1>, <2>, and <3>) and conversion requests

(the ZI2 following ZEMS-TKN-NEWPROCESS-CPU and the letter O following ZEMS-

TKN-NEWPROCESS-PRIORITY). ZI2 and O are edit codes. See Edit Codes on

page 3-23.

If NEWPROCESS-CPU is 9 and NEWPROCESS-PRIORITY is decimal 140, the

format template derived from Example 3-8 leads to the display text in Example 3-9.

The CPU number has a single leading zero, reflecting edit code ZI2, and PRIORITY is

in octal, reflecting edit code O.

Syntax of the MSG Statement

token-name

is a token name: ZEMS-TKN-EVENTNUMBER for main templates. For more

information, see Template Keys on page 3-18

token-value

is a constant, a DDL constant (such as ZEMS-EVT-BACKUP-CREATED), token

code, token map, or a level-89 name qualified by the DEF of type ENUM that

defines it.
