How to lookup error messages on the HP3000

12.3. How to lookup error messages on the system

If you run MSGUTIL without any parameters, it gives you a series of menus:

:run msgutil.pub.sys

*******************************************************************************
******      MSGUTIL  --  SYSTEM CATALOG MESSAGE DISPLAY UTILITY          ******
*******************************************************************************

---------------- INTERACTIVE MODE ----------------

                 M - Message display
                 T - Time display
                 E - Exit

Menu Selection >M

Enter SUBSYSTEM # [(cr) = quit] >231

Native mode device file

Enter MESSAGE # [(cr) = quit] >26
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A request was made to NMDF_exercise_device_reservation for a device that was
not reserved.
Native mode device file message 26
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Native mode device file

Enter MESSAGE # [(cr) = quit] >

If you pass the subsys and error (as a positive value) in the info parm,
then MSGUTIL skips the menus:

:msgutil '231,35'
Native mode device file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nmdf_create_device was called to create a device that already exists.
Native mode device file message 35
