To create a catalog, you must first create a source file and then
format it with the MAKECAT utility.
Source files for MAKECAT are EDIT/V files, with set
numbers 1-255, and message numbers 1-32,766. The MAKECAT
utility is used to build message catalogs (and HELP catalogs). The
program's input file has the formal designator INPUT.
MAKECAT reads from the input file and builds a temporary file
with the formal designator CATALOG that exists in your group
and account. MAKECAT also renames any old temporary
CATALOG to CATnn, using an incremental numbering
scheme (for example, CAT1, CAT2).
To use MAKECAT to build your own message catalog from a source named
SOURCE,
enter:
:FILE INPUT=SOURCE
:RUN MAKECAT.PUB.SYS
VALID MESSAGE CATALOG
:SAVE CATALOG
