9.2 Error Messages

The error messages in this section are generated by the 5250 Remote Emulator Card during configuration, while starting emulation, or during active emulation. The IBM Systems/34, /36, /38, and AS/400 have various error messages to help identify communication problems between the host and the PC or PC printer. The IBM host also has a “help” facility designed for error-message recovery. Refer to the IBM Technical Manual for further details.

9.2.1RUN-TIME ERROR MESSAGES

Address Conflict: The same cable address has been assigned to more than one logical-unit session.

Bad File Name: The file name cannot be read. This is typically caused when someone uses the wrong filename extension when typing in a configuration file’s name. The only valid extension is .CFG.
