Adding error messages

All of the rules call the seplib05_extract_error_msg functional map. This map is used for the framework and the validation maps to create error messages in the seperror.xml output file.

Two values are echoed. The first value in this rule, for example SEP0019E, corresponds to the error number in the sepamsgs.xml file that contains all of the error messages used in the framework and validation maps. The second value is passed into the {0} variable in the sepamsgs.xml, and can be any text string data.

When you want to add additional error messages to the sepamsgs.xml, make certain that you add them in the same format as the existing messages. Each message will have 3 trans-unit-ids:
  • Error Message (EM)
  • Extended Error (EE)
  • Error Action (EA)
String values from the map are passed into the EM id using the {0} variable. Any additions to this file must be added in ascending trans-unit id order.
