999: The message file for this utility cannot be found.
Source: CX.EXE, FLAG.EXE, LOGIN.EXE, LOGOUT.EXE, MAP.EXEMAP.EXE, RIGHTS.EXE, SETPASS.EXE
Explanation: When the utility tried to initialize the utility_name.MSG file, it was unable to find the file within the existing search drives. The following areas were searched:
- The current directory.
- The NWLANGUAGE environment variable directory. If the NWLANGUAGE variable is set, it should contain a directory name or names which specify a language (for example, ENGLISH or FRENCH). The files are searched for in a child directory of the NLS directory as specified by the NWLANGUAGE variable. The NLS directory in this instance is itself a child directory of the load directory. (The load directory contains the current utility's .EXE file.)
- The load directory (the directory containing the current utility's .EXE file). This is normally the PUBLIC directory.
- The PATH and DPATH (for OS/2 only) environment variables. These environment variables may be found either in the user's login script or in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- The directories found under the child NLS subdirectory of the load directory.
- The directories found under the sibling NLS subdirectory of the load directory.
Action: Find a current version of the message file. Then, copy it to a directory that is mapped to an existing search drive, or map a search drive to the directory containing the file.
