DESCRIPTION
The Popup window requests additional information. If invalid input is specified in certain areas of certain windows, an alarm sounds, and a Popup window is automatically opened. For example, the Popup window shown in Popup Window was displayed when an invalid prefix command was entered on line 11 of the Source window. The Popup window contains an error message, a prompt, and the old (invalid) text. At this point all other windows stop responding and the debugger will accept input only in the Popup window. You should either correct the error by typing in a valid value, or clear the field to restore the old value; then press ENTER or any PF key.

If input is specified in multiple windows, the debugger processes input in priority order. If the action taken for a particular window involves using a Popup window to correct invalid input, then any pending input in windows of a lower priority is processed after the error situation is corrected.
