The message compiler is an executable program. You can use a batch
job, a TSO/E CLIST, or a REXX EXEC to invoke the message compiler. The
syntax to invoke the message compiler for each follows. The lowercase
variables used in the examples have the following meanings:
- msg_pds
- is the name of the install message file PDS containing all the
message skeletons for a single language. msg_pds must be a
partitioned data set.
- msg_div_obj
- specifies the name of the run-time message file that is to contain
the compiled format of the message skeletons for the language. msg_div_obj must
be a linear VSAM data set suitable for use as a data-in-virtual object.
- lang,dbcs
- specifies parameters. lang is the three character code
of the messages contained in the install message file. dbcs indicates
whether this language contains double-byte characters (y is yes, n
is no).
