ABSTRACT:
A standardized message processing procedure is invoked by an application program to generate informative messages. Message repositories are provided in files accessible to the message processor. A separate repository is provided for each national language which is supported. The application invokes the message processor, passing variable information for inclusion in a message. The message processor retrieves the message syntax and fixed fields from the appropriate repository, assembles the message using information from the repository and information provided by the invoking application, and generates the message. A preprocessor can be used to generate the repository files, and macros suitable for inclusion in application source files to invoke the message processor.
