Message Descriptions

A message description defines a message to OS/400. The message description contains the text of the message and information about replacement variables, and can include variable data that is provided by the message sender when the message is sent.

Message descriptions are stored in message files. Each description must have an identifier that is unique within the file. When a message is sent, the message file and the message identifier tell the system which message description is to be used.
