### RUNCAT - Run Message Catalog File Utility (OS/2, Windows)

Purpose
The Run Message Catalog File Utility (RUNCAT) pipes output data from the mkcatdef command to the gencat command.

Description
The runcat command invokes the mkcatdef command and pipes the message catalog source data (the output from MKCATDEF) to the GENCAT program.

Syntax

>     runcat CatalogName CatalogName.msg

where the CatalogName is the base name for all your related message catalog files. The RUNCAT process begins by searching for the message source file called CatalogName.msg. From this single message source file, two files will be produced:

1. a CatalogName.h file which contain all the symbolic identifiers.
2. a CatalogName.cat file which is the message catalog.

The CatalogName is used as a base name for naming all the files that are produced from the related message source file.

Example
To generate a catalog from the message source file test.msg, enter:

>     runcat test test.msg

RUNCAT searches in the current directory for the test.msg file and generates the following:

>     test.h
>     test.cat
