Procedures to protect PROMSGS files from being overwritten
OpenEdge protects PROMSGS files and any associated files, and ensures that you always have the most recent PROMSGS files. For example:
*A file protection mechanism is part of the installation program and prohibits overwriting any PROMSGS file that already exists. If a PROMSGS file exists in the local directory, and it is the latest version; then, there is no need to perform any file changes.
*The OpenEdge Installation program supports a versioning scheme that adds date information to the header of the PROMSGS file. The install program uses this date information to help determine the latest version of a PROMSGS file.
