• Message ID
Unique name assigned to each message. The message ID must be
specified using up to 16 characters.
‚ Language ID and messages in different languages
The language IDs specified in the message generator parameter file and
the messages written in the corresponding languages are specified.
Note the following restrictions:
• A character string following an exclamation mark (!), except for any
within a character string, is assumed to be a comment.
• An intervening blank or tab, except for any within a character string, is
ignored.
• A single character string must be enclosed by a pair of double
quotation marks.
• A single character string enclosed by a pair of double quotation marks
can be coded over multiple lines. Two or more character strings can
be coded on a single line. For example, the message in ƒ, above, is
displayed as follows:
111222333"SECOND LINE THIRD LINE" END
• The length of a single message is not limited. Each line can be up to
512 characters long.
• A double quotation mark (") is coded as \", \ as \\, a line feed character
as \n, and a tab character as \t.
"AB\"CD\"EF" → AB"CD"EF
"\\10.000" → \10.000
• The messages for all the languages specified in the parameter file must
be included.
Message file (The extension is always .msg.)
This file is automatically created by the message generator. The file
name is the same as that of the message text file, but with the extension
changed to .msg. The message files of different languages are identified
by their paths alone.
