After you have indicated error or help messages in the -GE Lines section of Dialogs or Screens (or the Data Element -D Lines tab for the online help on Data Elements), you must generate them so that they will be recognized by the applications of the current Repository.
A specific file is to be used only if the standard messages are not adapted to the applications of the current Repository.
There are five standard messages for errors on Data Elements and three standard messages for errors on Segments:INVALID_ABSENCE_FOR_THE_FIELD = INVALID ABSENCE FOR THE FIELD INVALID_PRESENCE_FOR_THE_FIELD = INVALID PRESENCE FOR THE FIELD INVALID_VALUE_FOR_THE_FIELD = INVALID VALUE FOR THE FIELD NON_NUMERICAL_CLASS_FIELD = NON-NUMERICAL CLASS FIELD NON_ALPHABETICAL_CLASS_FIELD = NON-ALPHABETICAL CLASS FIELD INVALID_CREATION_RECORD = INVALID CREATION RECORD INVALID_DELETE_MODIFY_RECORD = INVALID DELETE/MODIFY RECORD END_OF_LIST = END OF LIST ABSENCE_OF_RECORD = ABSENCE OF RECORDTo specify a new specific file, you must create a file with a .properties extension and copy-paste the lines above in it. Then overwrite the error messages (second part of each line, after the '=' sign) as needed.
