warning

Refer to Para .The default heading WARNING must begin the warning followed by symbols, if any.NoteThe default heading WARNING is not entered in the data modules when data modules are written in an XML editor or a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG)-editor with an automatic function for presentation of legends.

Warnings must be the first item within that step/para.NoteThere are two methods to present warnings.NoteWarnings must not be used for purely descriptive information (eg, data modules with information code 040). This does not prohibit the use of warnings in a descriptive data module for the production of content such as a summary of warnings.NoteWarnings in business rules document data modules are strongly discouraged. The attribute brSeverityLevel must be used instead.The following rule must be followed:- Warnings that pertain to parent elements are also applicable to all of their child elements.
