Modifying or Replacing the Advisory Message

Routine

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.
