Changing the Messages Associated with Choice Lists

You can change the error message that appears when the user presses the Choice List key and no choice list is available ("No choices available") and the informational message that appears in the message window when the choice list is active ("Cursor keys scroll, ENTER selects and ESC exits choice menu").

Both of these messages are located in an array of data entry messages. The "No choices available" message is located in the module vv_valmsg.c. The "Cursor keys scroll, ENTER selects and ESC exits choice menu" message is located in the module vv_infomsg.c. Simply edit the message in the appropriate file, recompile the module, and replace it in the library.

Caution: Do not change the order of the messages. They are in an array accessed by #defined values from the code.
