How to Access and Use Error Code Help

About this Procedure

This procedure demonstrates how to access and use Error Code Help.

1. Press F1 from a screen or profile with errors.
2. Error messages will appear. View the error messages and press F8 to view additional error messages, if any exist.

   Note: The system will only retrieve six error messages at a time. If a screen has more than six errors, the user must resolve at least one of the first six errors and press F6 for the system to retrieve the next error. The system will not accept corrections until the user attempts to process the record again.

3. Press F4 to return to the original screen or profile.

Example: Use Error Code Help for an error received on the 26 Program Cost Account.

1. Change the action in the Action field from ‘R’ (Recall) to ‘A’ (Add).
2. Press Enter (or F6).
3. Error messages will appear. View error messages.
