Operation Notes
The calling program opens a message catalog, allowing the insertion parameters supplied
by GENMESSAGE. Depending on how the
msgdestination and buffer parameters are
defined, GENMESSAGE then routes the message to its destination. To route the message to a
file, specify
msgdestination . To return the message to a calling program, specify buffer .
To do both, specify both
msgdestination and buffer .
Open the catalog file as a permanent ASCII file with the NOBUF and MULTI access options
enabled.
