Discussion
U_GETTXT gets a line of text from the text message library.
The text message library is opened by U_START. It contains all Toolkit error and text messages, as well as any customized messages you add using the Synergy UI Toolkit Control Panel.
The facility name for Toolkit text messages is DTK. If you’ve created your own facility in the text message library, use your own unique facility name.
The maximum size of Toolkit messages is 200 characters.
