Renumbering messages
!
ATTENTION: When you renumber a message or
messages, recheck chained messages. They must be
edited if they refer to a number that was changed.
Message numbers may be changed in two ways.
•
To change the number of a message, select the Message attribute.
Use the up/down arrow to display a new number for the
highlighted message, or enter a value in the spin control, then
click the Store Message tool.
•
To change the numbers of all messages in the Message List, select
Renumber on the Edit menu to bring up a dialog:
In the Renumber Messages dialog:
1. Type the number the Message List should start with.
Or use the spin control to display the correct number.
2. Select OK to return to the Message Editor Table View.
All messages in the Message List are renumbered in order following
the initial number.
Note: This command simply renumbers messages, it does not change
their order in the Message List. However it may be used after a Sort
command to get the numbers back in sequence.
Topic
The Topic attribute allows messages in an application to be
organized or grouped by subject matter or function.
Use the Topic list box to assign a topic to each message; default is
Topic 1. Assign all messages concerned with one aspect of the
application to the same topic.
You can Sort messages by topic. See the Sort option on Page 7–11.
