Viewing error messages
If an error occurs when File Manager attempts to process a panel, a short text message displays in the upper right corner of the screen. While this message is displayed, pressing F1 displays the expanded text of the error message in either a box at the bottom of the screen, or underneath the command line, dependant upon your setting of the ISPF option "Long message in pop-up". The following example is shown with that ISPF option set on.
