Action
Enter the value 2 in the Quantity field. Press ENTER.
Since all fields with errors are enhanced (in this case they are
underlined and full bright as you saw in the form that corresponds to

the Quantity error. One message at a time is displayed when there is
more than one error. The displayed message describes the error for the
first incorrect field in screen order. When that field is corrected and
