This display line is called a status line. When it blinks, it is indicating to
you that the system checkout procedure has found a machine failure, or
it is indicating· that you have done something wrong. An error code
number is displayed in the blinking status line. The error code number is
enclosed within asterisks or dashes. For ,example, the error code number
shown in the status line of the illustration above is *3151*.
You will find a description of every error code number in the IBM 5280
Message Manual that came with your system. The error code description
in the Message Manual will describe the machine failure or will indicate
what you may have done wrong to cause the error. When the error code
description indicates a machine failure, record the error code number for
your service representative.
While the status line is blinking, you are unable to use any of the
alphabetic keys or the numeric keys. Pressing the Reset or Error Reset
key makes the error code disappear, stops the status line blinking, and
makes the keyboard usable. You will have to correct the problem that
caused the blinking error code or call your service representative if the
error code indicates a machine failure.

during the system checkout procedure.
