The Screen Message Display Area is in the upper right area of the screen and is further divided
into two sections as follows:
Instruction Messages : This message informs you of the next course of action or
provides the range of acceptable values for the current data entry field.
Status/Error Messages: Status messages will inform you when the software is
performing non-interactive functions. The Error message informs you that an error has
occurred and how to correct the error condition.

data entry, and display of information takes place.
