Purpose
The Run Message Catalog File Utility
(RUNCAT) pipes output data from the mkcatdef
command to the gencat command.
Description
The runcat command
invokes the mkcatdef command and pipes the
message catalog source data (the output from MKCATDEF) to the
GENCAT program.
Syntax
runcat CatalogName CatalogName.msg
where the CatalogName is the base name for all your related message catalog files. The RUNCAT process begins by searching for the message source file called CatalogName.msg. From this single message source file, two files will be produced:
The CatalogName is used as a base name for naming all the files that are produced from the related message source file.
Example
To generate a catalog from the message
source file test.msg, enter:
runcat test test.msg
RUNCAT searches in the current directory for the test.msg file and generates the following:
test.h test.cat
