Understanding the messages

GDDM-PGF V2R1.3 Interactive Chart Utility
SC33-0328-01



Usually, when you make a mistake the ICU displays a message on the second line of the screen. The message is in three parts:

  1. Some letters and numbers, for example ADM1107.
    
    
  2. A letter:
    
    
    I
    Information
    W
    Warning
    E
    Error
    S
    Severe error
    
    
  3. Some explanatory text, for example PLEASE ENTER A WHOLE NUMBER.
    
    

The message is color-coded, as follows:

Blue
The first two parts.

White
Information text, telling you the ICU has done what you asked.

Yellow
Warning text. It appears when the ICU can do what you want but it is probably not a good idea to do it.

Red
Error text, telling you the ICU cannot do what you have asked.

The text for severe errors is also red. You see these very rarely. If they do appear, it is unlikely that it is your fault, so talk to your local expert.
