<div><p>You can define two levels of messages on the <span class="cmdname">Add Message

Description (ADDMSGD)</span> command. The text of the message
|

is required and should identify the condition that caused the message to be

issued. Message help is optional and should explain the condition further
|

|

<div class="section"> <p> To get message help, the display station user must move the
|
||
|
|
cursor to the message line and press the Help key when the message is displayed.
|
||
|
|
Message help can be formatted for the display station using three format control
|
||
|
|
characters. These characters may be used to make the message help (usually
|
||
|
|
online help information) more readable for the user.</p>
|
||
|

<p>Each of the three
|
||
|
|
format control characters must be followed by a blank to separate them from

the message text. </p>
