Displaying field help information

To display the field help information:

Place your cursor on the field entry line.
Press the Help function key (F1). The field help information is displayed in a pop-up window.
If further information is needed, press the Extended Help function key (F5), to access the Tutorial Help page for the current panel.

Pressing Help while the field information window is displayed takes you to the Help Tutorial page within the Tutorial Help system (that is, the page that describes how to use Tutorial Help).
When you have finished reading the message or the relevant Tutorial Help page, press the Exit function key (F3) to return to your starting panel.

For example, Figure 1 shows the message seen when F1 is pressed from the RECLIMIT field in the Set Print Processing Options panel.
