DosInsertMessage inserts variable text-string information into a message.

DosInsertMessage differs from DosGetMessage in that it does not retrieve a message. It is particularly useful when messages are loaded early, before actual insertion text strings are known.

If cTable is greater than 9, DosInsertMessage returns an error indicating that cTable is out of range. A default message also is placed into the caller's buffer. Refer to DosGetMessage for details about default messages.

If the numeric value of x in the %x sequence for %1-%9 is less than or equal to cTable, then text insertion, by substitution for %x, is performed for all occurrences of %x in the message. Otherwise, text insertion is ignored, and the %x sequence is returned in the message unchanged. Text insertion is performed for all text-strings defined by cTable and pTable.

Variable data insertion does not depend on blank character delimiters, nor are blanks automatically inserted.
