If BookManager is available on the mainframe, a custom bookshelf can be created containing all of the messages and codes manuals (e.g. the ISPF messages and codes manual and the COBOL messages and codes manual, etc). A user then only has to search one bookshelf for any message or code they encounter.
If SimpList is available on the mainframe a user can give the bookshelf a label. A label is a kind of alias, and can be anything a user finds easy to remember (e.g. '.MSGS'). This allows the user to search the bookshelf from any command line anywhere in ISPF. For example, if their program just ended with SQL code -117 they can enter BR .MSGS -117 on the command line and this opens the SQL messages and codes book directly at the explanation of what -117 means.
