System Responses
During an administration session, there are occasions when you may enter inappropriate information at a prompt. While System 25 does not catch all input errors, it does catch many of them. System 25 has three means of responding to incorrect input:
■Error messages
■Print messages
■Warnings
Error Messages
Error messages are in the general form:
Error nnnn [Where nnnn is a number]
aaaaaaaaa [Where aaaaa aaaa is a message]
A second level of help is also available. If you need more information about an error message in the form above, you can type a question mark, “?,” at the next prompt. You will see a second message in the this general form:
Error nnnn [Where nnnn is a number]
bbbbbbbbb [Where bbbbb bbbb is an expanded message]
Consider a specific example. You can only change a station PDC to a number that does not already exist in the dial plan. Say that you attempt to change PDC 1654 to 1653 which is being used elsewhere:

3 At Action = , | enter 2 to | tell the system you want to enter |

4 Type d and | at Data = | , enter the new dial code, 1653 |
If you see: |
