Use ERRMSG and MSGSFL in one display file

[kishor]

Hi,

I need to modify a display file and need to add some new error messages. all error messages are defined here with ERRMSG keyword.

all the indicators are already used to define error messages, so I thought to add msg subfile for new messages.

but now after adding msg subfile, old error msgs are not getting displayed(those are defined with ERRMSG)

m not sure whether we can use both ERRMSG and msg sfl together or not

could someone please guide..

thanks.

I'm not sure whether we can use both ERRMSG and msg sfl together or not

I've never tried it, but I doubt it can be done.

I'm not certain, but IIRC I had trouble adding an error message subfile to an existing program which used ERRMSG, so I replaced all the ERRMSG messages with message subfile messages. It may have been just my own quirk for consistency, but I THINK it was necessary because the two types of messages would not peacefully coexist.

I don't recall trying to use both together. How does the value for your message subfile SFLMSGRCD() keyword compare to the MSGLOC() keyword for the file? Do the two overlap lines?
