Table 2. Message Group Definitions
Message Group Description
Disabled Lists all disabled messages. Messages displayed in the list box will not be displayed by the tool.
Information Lists all information messages. Information messages describe the actions taken by the tool.
Warning Lists all warning messages. When a warning message is generated, input file processing continues.
Error Lists all error messages. When an error message is generated, input file processing continues.
Fatal Lists all fatal error messages. When a fatal error message is generated, input file processing stops immediately. Fatal messages cannot be changed and are only listed to provide access to context help.

Each message has its own prefix (for example, `C' for Compiler messages, `A' for Assembler messages, `L' for Linker messages, `M' for Maker messages, `LM' for Libmaker messages) followed by a 4- or 5-digit number. This number allows an easy search for the message both in the manual or on-line help.
