Obtaining more information about OpenEdge messages

In Windows platforms, use OpenEdge online help to obtain more information about OpenEdge messages. Many OpenEdge tools include the following Help menu options to provide information about messages:

Choose Help > Messages and then type the message number to display a description of a specific OpenEdge message.

In the Procedure Editor, press the HELP key or F1.

2. Press F3 to access the menu bar, then choose Help > Messages.

3. Type the message number and press ENTER. Details about that message number appear.

4. Press F4 to close the message, press F3 to access the Procedure Editor menu, and choose File > Exit.
