> ## OpenEdge messages

> The text used in OpenEdge messages is contained in the `promsgs` file. OpenEdge provides various language editions of the `promsgs` file in the `DLC/prolang` subdirectories. Each file has an extension that identifies its language. The following excerpt of the Dutch version of OpenEdge messages is from `DLC/prolang/dut/promsgs.dut`:

>     >0062ISO8859-1
>     %gbfblst -- Te veel block nivo’s. Verhoog -nb optie. (1)%GSYSTEM ERROR:
>     bfblnd -- geen ar aktiref (2)%GSYSTEM ERROR: bfreg -- geen tak.

> To run OpenEdge with a certain version of `promsgs`, set the `PROMSGS` environment variable to the appropriate file location. By default, OpenEdge retrieves messages from `DLC/promsgs`.You can also change the `PROMSGS` language dynamically, from within your application.
