Note If you use a panel to display the new text, the user needs to press a function key to remove the panel and

return to normal message display.

If you want to replace the message, you must specify both the Replacement Method

field and the Replacement Text fields on the RMS : Message Modification panel;

otherwise, leave the fields blank.

Replacement Text Replacement Method (P/L - Panel or line)

Specify the method of text delivery in the Replacement Method field. The value must

be L (line by line) or P (panel). Specify the new text in the Replacement Text field.

You can specify up to 10 lines of text, each line containing up to 75 characters. You can

use the at sign (@) and variables in the text as follows:

If the value in the Replacement Method field is L, use the at sign (@) to delimit

strings that you want to appear in high intensity but with no highlighting. Ensure

that you also set the Scan field to Y for the message attributes. For example, the

following text appears with bold in high intensity when displayed on a terminal

(the first @ switches on high intensity, and the second @ switches off high

intensity):

This is in@bold@and this is not.

Use variables as part of the new text. You can use the global variables, user

variables, and message variables. For example:

You can use words in the original message as part of the new text through the

&WORDn variables (&WORDn contains the nth word of the original

message).

You can use the original message as part of the new text through the

&ZZZMSGTEXT variable.
