Scott, Is this message table in fact a static one than you change only infrequently, e.g., when you also make changes in the routines that use it?
If so, you should consider making it into a load module or, preferably, a program object. It can then be brought into storage using a LOAD or LOADX. You can then, of course, store-protect it, make it unmodifiable while resident.
