3.4.3 Accepting Entries
Entries in configurable fields are checked when moving the cursor to the next
field. A keyboard entry is considered invalid if the entry reverts back to its
original value, or when you get an error message. When all fields are properly
edited, select the enter button or press the Enter key.
NOTE: Not all conditions can be checked in the edit displays. Certain
information is checked during compile time.
3.5 MESSAGE POSTING
Errors, comments, and informational messages are common to all displays and
can be posted to the screen (message can be a maximum of 120 characters).
Help messages are context sensitive.
Information Messages
Information messages describe a condition that should have
been met. For example, you need to select an item before
selecting copy in order to make a copy.
Error Messages
Error messages advise you of a problem or a condition that
cannot be met. You need to change the error condition, i.e.
enter a proper tag name when trying to find a tag, to fix the
problem.
Exclamation Messages
Exclamation messages let you know when a successful task has
completed, such as when a good compile finishes. It may also
stress some important condition, such as when a tag name
exists.
Query Messages
Query messages ask you if you want to take some alternate
action when your current action is going to change some critical
work such as when loading a new strategy over an existing one
or when exiting the system.
