1. Create a message in Oracle Apps
Resp: Application Developer
Nav: Application > Messages
(For example XXAP999_SUPPLIER_ERR, containing the token &VENDOR_NUM)
2. For a token-substituted message use the following PL/SQL to do the substitution:
BEGIN fnd_message.set_name('XXAP', 'XXAP999_SUPPLIER_ERR'); fnd_message.set_token('VENDOR_NUM', '12345678'); END;
Then use fnd_message.get to retrieve the message string. E.g.
SELECT fnd_message.get FROM dual
For non-substituted messages, the set_name and set_token commands are not required. Just use:
SELECT fnd_message.get_string('XXAP', 'XXAP999_SUPPLIER_ERR') FROM dual
3. To print to standard concurrent program output or log files do the following:
Set a text string variable, for example
v_msg := fnd_message.get
Then print it to the log or output files:
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.log, 'Error message is: ' || v_msg); fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output, 'Error message is: ' || v_msg);
