GDDM-PGF V2R1.3 Vector Symbol Editor
SC33-0330-01



When you are using the Vector Symbol Editor, you will receive various messages; these are intended to help you. Either they will tell you that you have made a mistake, or they will tell you that you need to do something (for example, save or cancel a symbol set before exiting).

Messages appear on the second line of both panels.

The messages take a consistent form. The message text is preceded by a seven-character identifier and a one-character severity code, separated by a blank; for example, ADM0601 E. The identifying number enables you to look up the message in this appendix and the severity code tells you the urgency of the message.

The identifier has two components:

  • The characters ADM, which identify the message as originating from GDDM
    
    
  • A four-digit serial number.
    
    

The severity code is one of the following:


   I  Informational
   W  Warning
   E  Error
   S  Severe error
   U  Unrecoverable error

Informational messages tell you that GDDM has done something; often, these messages require no further action from you.

Warning messages tell you that there might be a problem, or that GDDM has made some assumption about what you did. Check the message, and correct your input if necessary.

The three types of error messages tell you that something has gone wrong. Check the explanation in the rest of this section, and do what it says under "Your Response" for the message.

All messages in this appendix start with the identifying letters ADM. If you get a message without these identifying letters, it comes from outside GDDM and you should look elsewhere for information on it. If the message number is not within the range ADM0601 through ADM0699, it is not a Vector Symbol Editor message. GDDM messages are listed in the GDDM Messages book.

This appendix lists the messages in numerical order. Each message is followed by three standard headings:

Explanation: A more detailed explanation of the error than that given in the message itself.

System Action: A description of what the Vector Symbol Editor does.

Your Response: A description of how you can correct the error.
