Abstract
A message handler can dynamically change messages that are output during execution of a computer application. The messages are stored in a message file. When the application begins execution, it opens the message file, extracts the messages, stores them as message entries in a message table in computer memory and closes the file. Message records and message entries have formatting tags that allow dynamic substitution of desired information without expensive recompiling or version releases.
