Not an issue at all. If you list Xy4's error codes alongside
NBWin's, you'll see that NB's are a superset of Xy4's. There are
many additional codes in NB, but the ones that overlap with Xy are
identical (cosmetic differences aside).

There's a U2 routine called ERR that will give you a handle on the
numeric error codes and their associated messages in any Xy-
environment (Xy4/XyWin/NBWin). For example, ERR reports
the most recent error code (VA$ER) and message. ERR 12
reports the error message associated with error code 12.
ERR search lists all error codes/messages that contain the
string "search". And ERR /NV gives you the whole shebang
-- a listing of all the error codes and messages.
