Message Display and Field Highlighting

Message Display

Messages are displayed in the system message display field on the second line of a screen. Messages perform the following functions:

• Request that you supply additional information
• Tell you what action is required next
• Inform you about what has been done with information you entered for processing
• Tell you why information has not been processed
• Report on the status of tables and processing

Field Highlighting

Highlighting is sometimes used in conjunction with a message to indicate the field on the screen referenced by the message. Highlighting can appear in any information display field on a screen.
