location of the error's source. In the case of a global system
error, the text "GLOBAL SYSTEM" will be displayed across
these 3 columns, since this type of error affects all interface

included in logged (past) error reports.
– The message code number is used as a reference to obtain
further information on the reported error. It consists of a
single alphabet character followed by 2 numeric values
separated by a "-". The character "E" refers to an error
message code. The first numeric value specifies the class of
error, such as a bus failure, or a communications link failure.
The second numeric value is the type of entity to which the
error refers, such as the GSC bus, or the CEC/IMC Manager.
The short description following the message code reflects this
format. For example: E03-028 "Link Fail-Console."
– All current possible errors are listed by message code number
in this dialog box's Help function. In most instances the short
description given will provide enough information to indicate
the reason for the error.
It is important to note the existing error report dialog box is not updated
if the system error status changes. To generate a new report, this dialog
box must be exited and re-entered.
To create an Errors report select the Errors option button and then
either the Current or Logged option button. Choose the Display button
to display the Errors file. The Errors information can be sent to a file or
to a printer by choosing the Save To File or Print buttons
respectively.
