Cancel. I missed the period after ":newline". I swear I tried that before, but I guess not.
Any time I want to solve a simple problem I just need to post to the list then try something else after that and it works! Or so it seems. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Frank Swarbrick Sent: Monday, April 10, 2023 10:47 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Language Environment custom messages At https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=cm-creating-message-source-file is documented creating of a "message source file" for custom LE messages. Is anyone besides me using this? I am having an issue with the ":newline" not seeming to do anything at all, and definitely not what it appears to be documented as doing. Specifically "The :newline. tag creates a new message line that can be used for multiline messages." My observation is that it neither creates a new message line nor does it insert any control characters that would represent the beginning of a new line. Here's an example message configuration: :msgno.1010 :msgsubid.1 :msgname.AIB-Results :msgclass.I :msg.DL/I AIB call, unexpected rtn/rsn :tab.+1 :ins 1. :msg./ :ins 2. :msg. ( :ins 3. :msg./ :ins 4. :msg.) for args: :newline :ins 5. :tab.+1 :ins 6. :tab.+1 :ins 7. :msg.. This should (to my understanding!) start insert 5 on a new line, but it is not doing so. No space, no control character, no nothing between the colon in "args:" and the value of insert #5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
