When an error occurs at Java™ run time, an EGL system message is displayed by default; but you can specify a customized message for each of those system messages or for a subset.
When a message is required, EGL first searches a properties file that you identify in the Java runtime property vgj.messages.file. The format of the referenced file is the same as for any Java properties file, as described in Program properties file and as shown in the current topic.
VGJ0216E = {0} is not a valid date mask for {1}.
VGJ0216E = Function {1} was given invalid date mask {0}. VGJ0216E = Function {1} was given an invalid date mask.
A fatal error occurs if the file identified in property vgj.messages.file cannot be opened.
For details on the message numbers and their meaning, see EGL Java runtime error codes.
