Peoplecode function not working

Question

I am using Peoplecode which is a Peoplesoft coding language.

I am trying to access JUST the 'message text' from a message catalog.

It pulls the correct number 7373 when I use the same code on another page.

But in this instance it returns the message

'GetMessageText: No default message. (2012,2012)'.

Here is the code I am using..

   &cur_year = Year(%Date);
   &MsgNum = MsgGetText(2012, 2012, "");

Answer 1

It's because it can't find the message (2012,2012). You have to specify the correct message set and message number to retrieve from the message catalog.
