Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this manual and its

preceding version. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right margin of

changed portions of text, figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars highlight

The CRE has many new message types and some new message type codes for

old message types. In the CRE, the message type SYSTEM includes all

messages except LOGICAL-CLOSE and LOGICAL-OPEN.
