There is an easy way to get information on what caused an error or
warning message to occur and what action you need to take to correct
the problem. Simply type the HELP command followed by one of
three prefixes, and the error message number.
Type CIERR and the number for Command Interpreter errors.
Type SR and the number for Store or Restore errors
Type CIWARN and the number for Command Interpreter warning messages
Exclamation points (!) may appear in some error or warning messages while
you are using online help. They act as a system input placeholders and
can be ignored.
