Use this screen to add, maintain, and re-sequence equipment messages.
Click a link to advance to that section of the topic.
On this screen, enter message numbers to add to the category/classTwo-part classification for individualized and bulk equipment. Rental rates are entered by category/class, and the ID number for bulk items is the category/class ID.. If you do not know the message number, press F4 to search for it. Press F6 to enter the number of a message to maintain or add.
If necessary, press F5 to re-sequence the messages. This is usually necessary when you have changed the default sequence numbers so that you can insert a new message between existing sequences. For instance, if message numbers exist for sequences 10 and 20, and you decide that you need a message to print after sequence 10 but before sequence 20, you can change the default sequence of 30 (with no message number associated with it) to sequence 15 and associate a message number with it. Press F5, and the program re-sequences and displays sequences 10, 15, and 20 in that order.
