Syntax

MKMSGF infile outfile [options]

OR

MKMSGF @controlfile

The infile field specifies the input file that contains message definitions. The input-file name can be any valid OS/2 file name, optionally preceded by a drive letter and a path.

The outfile field specifies the output file created by MKMSGF. The output-file name can be any valid OS/2 file name, optionally preceded by a drive letter and a path.

To differentiate between the two files, the following convention is recommended, using the same file name.

• The infile file should have a .TXT extension.
  
• The outfile file should have a .MSG extension.

Note: The output file cannot have the same file name and extension as the input file.
