Note: Whenever you use the Paste command MessageBuilder
validates the message, to make sure the destination terminal can
support all its attributes. For instance, if you try to paste a message
containing the Enable Slave attribute into an application intended to
run on a terminal whose firmware cannot support Slave Port, you
will be unable to do so.
Error messages
If an error or warning message appears while you are:
•
creating or editing an application, see Appendix C.
•
validating an application, see Appendix D.

one.
