Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to do something before execution
continues. For example, before you format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on
the diskette as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the data. These warning
messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to respond by typing a y (yes) or n (no).
NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either your application programs or your operating
system. See "Software Checks
" and the documentation that accompanied your operating system and
application programs.
Diagnostics Messages
