SYMPTOM(s):
DOC: Documentation bug in sample code of the PROMSGS statement
The sample procedure code, r-swmsgs.p, of the PROMSGS statement contains a syntax error in both the OpenEdge Development: ABL Reference and the 'Online Keyword Help' documentation.
Running the sample code as is generates the error: "Cannot find prolang/promsgs.lng" where lng is the three letter symbol of the language input by the user.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.2B
CAUSE:
Bug# OE00199680
CAUSE:
The offending line of code, msgfile = IF newlang = "English" THEN "promsgs" ELSE "prolang/promsgs." + LC(SUBSTRING(newlang, 1, 3)). generates the error because the PROMSGS files are not located in the dlc/prolang directory.
FIX:
None at this time. A workaround is to change the offending statement:
msgfile = IF newlang = "English" THEN "promsgs" ELSE "prolang/promsgs." + LC(SUBSTRING(newlang, 1, 3)).
With the correct statement::
msgfile = IF newlang = "English" THEN "promsgs" ELSE "prolang/" + LC(SUBSTRING(newlang, 1, 3)) + "/promsgs." + LC(SUBSTRING(newlang, 1, 3)).
