If the existing message text does not meet your needs, you can change the text of specific messages or translate all the messages into a different language. However, these messages or parts of messages cannot be customized or translated:
“Error 33231” always returns with as-shipped U.S. English text, regardless of what is coded in the text table.
The message variable indicator strings, %s and %S, in the text table are always replaced with values that contain U. S. English text. Many of these values are DB2 commands or messages, which are always returned in U.S. English.
Table 5-5 shows the changes to the AMD2 message table.
