System messages and codes

Whenever File-AID/Data Solutions displays a short message in the upper-right corner of a screen, you can use the HELP (PF1) command to display a long message on the same topic. Pressing HELP a second time displays the tutorial.

When File-AID/Data Solutions displays a system error code in the message, an accompanying tutorial contains a list of error codes. To obtain information on the displayed system error code, specify the appropriate option value in the OPTION field. File-AID/Data Solutions then displays a description screen for that group of system error codes.
