The message manual content is derived from the same source as what we include in the product help facility ("dsmc help"). Differences from the published/online manuals would only be due to a lag between the time we add/change a message in the help facility and the time it takes to get the changes into the formal publications. Because of how we develop the messages, barring a build or package defect, if we can issue the message, we can at least display help for it via "dsmc help".
