The control file (@controlfile) is used to create multiple-code-page message files. The at sign (@) is not part of the file name, but rather, a delimiter required before a control-file name.
The control file has the following format:
Example:
root.in root.out /Pcodepage /Ddbcsrang/ctryid /LlangID,VerId sub.001 sub1.out /Pcodepage /Ddbcsrang/ctryid /LlangID,VerId . . sub.00n subn.out /Pcodepage /Ddbcsrang/ctryid /LlangID,VerId
The help option (/?) is invalid due to the purpose of the definition file.
Note: Any combination of /P /D /L and /V switches can be used for either the command line or msg_definition_file execution method.
