Error Listings

If you create a processing option that gives users a choice about where errors are listed, use these design guidelines.

Ensure that you:

• Provide the option to list errors either in the Work Center or in the report.

  Errors may not appear in both locations.

• Use this format to list errors in the report:

  085X--This record is not correct.

• Do not repeat errors, and ensure that they appear in a logical order, especially when Parent/Child relationships are involved.

• Do not stop processing for warning-type error messages.

  Error-type messages should stop processing.
