fglmkmsg

The fglmkmsg tool compiles .msg message files into a binary version used by programs.

Syntax

fglmkmsg [options] srcfile [outfile]

Table 1. fglmkmsg options
Option	Description
`-V`	Display version information for the tool.
`-h`	Displays options for the tool. Short help.
`-r msgfile`	De-compiles a binary message file.

The fglmkmsg tool compiles a .msg message file into a .iem compiled version:

fglmkmsg mess01.msg

For backward compatibility, you can specify the output file as second argument:

fglmkmsg mess01.msg mess01.iem

The .iem compiled version can be used by BDL programs, for example, when the HELP clause is used in a MENU or INPUT instruction.
