9.2 Error Messages
The error messages in this section are generated by the 5250 Remote
Emulator Card during configuration, while starting emulation, or during
active emulation. The IBM Systems/34, /36, /38, and AS/400 have various
error messages to help identify communication problems between the host
and the PC or PC printer. The IBM host also has a “help” facility designed
for error-message recovery. Refer to the IBM Technical Manual for further
details.

ESSAGES
Address Conflict: The same cable address has been assigned to more than
one logical-unit session.
Bad File Name: The file name cannot be read. This is typically caused
when someone uses the wrong filename extension when typing in a
configuration file’s name. The only valid extension is .CFG.
