Parameters:INPUT pcMessage AS CHARACTER
A message string, which might be a message number in string form
Returns: LOGICALNotes: This function can be overridden to use a mechanism other than the MESSAGE statement to display messages, and still use the messageNumber function to map message numbers to translatable text.
