Operator Error Codes - IBM 5251 11 Maintenance Information Manual

Operator Error Codes
These errors are caused by pressing the wrong key,
pressing a key that is not recognized by the controller,
or entering the wrong data in a specified input field.
Errors appear on the display screen with the format
OOxx. The~e numbers will be blinking. To display
·the type of error, press the Help key.
If an error is displayed and no error condition is present,
the most probable cause of the error is in the controller.
Refer to the system documentation for the cause of the
erro"r.
However, yoLi can check the error conditions with the
Online Test (206). For example, the Specified Input
FielQs display (selected from the Display Verification
Menu, option 3) contains specific data fields. You can
intentionally make errors by entering the wrong data in a
field and check the error condition th·at appears.
The following list of operator error codes shows the
error code number and the description, followed by a
description of the cause of the error.
For error recovery on all these errors, press the Error
