Message Descriptions in LANSA/Windows

Assumming BIFs like GET_MESSAGE_DESC are supported on LANSA/Windows -
- Are these stored in the LX_DTA schema? If so which table?
How does one register new messages?
I expect there's an encyclopedia page somewhere - Sorry I missed it ..

Anthony,
i think the table you are looking for is : [LX_DTA].[LX_MSG]
I do not see any BIF for inserting new messages, but presumably you could use SQL directly to insert what you require... (one of the fields is the
'message file' (eg. DC@M01 ) -- i would recommend you try creating your own value).
I suspect that would be your best bet....

Anthony,
sometimes i can do things the hard way....
In your IDE you should be able to go to the 'Tools' Ribbon and there should be an icon for 'Message Files'.
Click this, and you can select your message file, search it based on description or message ID, change, add, delete etc....
so there you go, there is a way in the IDE... i just could not remember...
Brendan.
