When you start the message editing utility for the first time, the Set defaults panel 1 (of 2) is displayed for you to enter your default values for the utility. For example, see Figure 48.
MEU017 Defaults must be set before the Message Editing Utility can be used.
While entering the defaults you can press the ENTER key to save the values as you progress. When you have entered all the required default values, you can save the values and exit the panel by using End (F3). This either returns you to the "Message Editing Utility" main panel or displays the Set defaults panel 2, as shown in Figure 49.
When you have defined your default values, any subsequent start of the message editing utility displays the message editing utility Main panel first.

The + sign beside the current language suffix field indicates that further help is available. Select Language (F4) to view the Language selection panel. (See Figure 50.) The language suffix that you select is shown in the Current language (NATLANG) field.
To refresh the values back to the values last saved, use Refresh (F5).
You are recommended to use one target data set index for all languages. This makes it easier to create message modules for all languages, and to apply any PTF updates for the utility.
To create a message module, the utility needs to find all the translated messages for a language under the same target data set index. Therefore, you must not split the messages modules for a language between data sets with different indexes.
When the utility creates a new message module, it adds the module to the DFHMEUL load library specified on the Set defaults panel. For CICS to use this library, it must be APF-authorized, and added to the STEPLIB concatenation of your CICS startup job. (Alternatively, you can copy the new message module to another library in the STEPLIB concatenation.)
The CICS SDFHAUTH library specified on the Set defaults panel is used only to find the message module for messages that have not been edited.

You can select the language to be used in your message set members on the Language selection panel. An example of the Language selection panel is shown in Figure 50. The languages supported by the message editing utility are listed in the Language selection panel and for reference in Table 10.
