Abstract

Some dial‐access users have encountered the message “function disabled” which sounds alarming. This is a CompuServe message that occurs when the system receives a stray 〈DISP RECRD SEND〉 with nothing (or without anything the system recognized) preceding it. A lone 〈DISP RECRD SEND〉 was supposed to allow OCLC staff to go into a master mode for system maintenance. This master mode has not been installed and therefore is “disabled.”
