Chapter 3. Operating NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS - IBM

Chapter 11. Changing the Text of NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS
Messages and the Language They Are Issued In
The messages issued by NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS are located in a macro that is
written in Assembler. You can change the text of the NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS
messages to meet your requirements.
To change the messages or to create your own messages, do the following:
1. Copy the macro DVG$GMC, which is stored in the macro library
DVG.NFTP230.SDVGMAC0. Either copy DVG$GMC into another library or
copy it into the same library and give it a different name.
2. If you are only changing the English messages and not translating them into
another language, skip to step 4.
3. In your copy of DVG$GMC, find the label MSGDEF. This label marks the
beginning of the messages. In the AIF branch table that follows the message
definitions, find the label that corresponds to the language you are using. Copy
the original English messages below that label.
4. Change the messages in your copy of DVG$GMC. Follow the rules given in
“Rules to Follow when Changing the Message Texts” on page 130. If you are
translating the messages into a language that uses double-byte characters,
refer to “Special Considerations for Languages That Require Double-Byte
Characters” on page 132.
5. Change the value for the &LANG parameter in the prototype statement for your
copy of DVG$GMC to the first letter of the language of your messages.
6. Put your copy of DVG$GMC back into the correct library.
7. Create a load module with the name DVGCCMDx, where x is the first letter of
one of the following languages:
� English (U.S.)
� French
� German
� Italian
� Japanese
� Portuguese
� Spanish
� User (any language requiring single-byte encoding)
� Double (any language requiring double-byte encoding).
This load module is your message module.
