TEXT - This configuration variable controls the text of runtime messages. The ACUCOBOL-GT runtime system displays a number of informational and warning messages to the end user. Several of these messages can be customized via entries in the configuration file.
For each message that you want to change, place the word "TEXT" in your configuration file, followed by a message number from the list below, an "=" sign, and then the text you would like to use.
For example, the standard message #1 is "press return". You can change that message to "push enter" by placing this line in your configuration file:
TEXT 1=push enter
Note that there is no space before or after the equals sign, and that the new message is not in quotes.
These are the standard runtime messages and their numbers:
Message Number Text
1 "Press return"
2 "Number required"
3 "Entry required"
4 "Field must be filled with data"
5 "Too many hot keys active"
6 "Program missing or inaccessible"
7 "Not a COBOL program"
8 "Corrupted program"
9 "Inadequate memory available"
10 "Unsupported version of object code"
11 "Program already in use"
12 "Too many external segments"
13 "Large-model program not supported"
18 "Please end this application first"
19 "Japanese objects not supported"
This message is displayed when a standard runtime attempts
to execute an object that contains Japanese COBOL extensions.
20 "Too many lines"
This message is displayed when the user exceeds the
MAX-LINES setting for a multiline entry field.
21 "License manager (acushare) not running"
This message is displayed when acushare is not running and the
runtime is unable to start it (e.g., because it is not in the path).
22 "Data must fit this format: "
This message is displayed when the user enters illegal data when
using the NUMERIC-VALIDATION configuration option.
23 "&Ok"
24 "&Yes"
25 "&No"
26 "&Cancel"
Messages 23, 24, 25, and 26 are used by character-based
versions for the message box facility.
28 "Unable to access the file "%s"
due to heavy usage by other users. Would
you like to continue waiting for it?"
See the configuration variable WAIT-FOR-FILE-ACESS for more
information about this message.
30 "Connection refused - perhaps AcuConnect
is not running"
31 "Please enter a value between %ld and %ld"
This message is displayed when the user enters a value outside of
the allowed range for an ENTRY-FIELD (see MIN-VAL and MAX-VAL).
The first "%ld" is replaced by the MIN-VAL setting. The second "%ld"
is replaced by the MAX-VAL setting. You may omit these if desired.
Note that the second character in this sequence is the letter "l",
not the number one ("1").
