Debug Status Line

The debug status line looks like this:

Most fields on the debug status line contain two-character hexadecimal numbers.

Related fields are separated by periods. For example, the string 01.00.00.20.0099.5000 near the beginning of the example status line shows six fields that contain information relating to host field attributes. Unrelated fields are separated by spaces.

If Reflection is in Plus CR mode and an error occurs, characters in positions 9-31 on the debug status line are replaced by magenta characters that provide information about the error condition. These characters are important to Open Text Technical Support.
