Creating a Log Message File
The snapmsgf program provided with SNAplus2, enables you to produce
your own message files to be used with the LOG_MESSAGE verb.
To use this facility, you must first create a text file containing the
message numbers and text, and then use snapmsgf to convert it into a
message file.
Message Source File Format
A message source file is a plain ASCII text file. You can include a
comment line anywhere in the file by using an asterisk (*) as the first
character of the line. SNAplus2 ignores all the remaining text on this
line.
The first line in the source file must be “ID:”, followed by a character
string of 1–8 characters identifying the component logging the message.
This string is printed out at the start of each message in the log file.
