message categories
• Subsystem Standard Messages - 00001 thru
02000
• Reserved - 02001 thru 09999
• Published Messages - 10001 thru 11000
• Package Messages - 10001 thru 90000
• Reserved - 90001 thru 99999
• Each package is allocated 100 message numbers,
each starting from 101.
• Published Messages are messages that are
special-interest messages that implementations
need to know about and are therefore published
in the user docs. Examples of these include
messages that are highly likely to be changed for
an implementation, or messages that are
embedded into other texts/messages and
therefore the message number is never shown
• Reserved message number ranges are for future
use and therefore must not be used by all
products.
