How to convert a hex number to a message name in Swat.




How to turn a 4 digit hex number into a message name in Swat:

1. Find out the class of the target object for the message.
2. Print the hex number as decimal (e.g. 6a02h = 27138)
3. Type "whatis MSG_MOST_LIKELY_MATCH"
4. Compare the whatis output to the number you're looking for.
   - If it's way off, try another class.
   - If it's close, look in the header file for that class and count
     up or down to that message (they are numbered in the order they're
     defined in the header).
