5.20.1.5 Capturing the Free Format Message

You can enter the free format message to be sent to the recipient in the Message section of the screen. You have the option of using one of the templates that you have maintained in the Message Format Template Maintenance screen. To do this, right-click on the screen. The following two choices appear:

  • Select the option Template Code.
  • You can select the template you would like to use. Upon selection of the template, the message is displayed in the box. You can amend the message that gets defaulted from the template. The code of the selected template is displayed in the Template Code field.

Note:

Although you are allowed to make changes to the message defaulted form the template, these changes does not affect the template itself. You can make changes to a template through the Message Format Template Maintenance screen alone.
