# Steel Member Design: Flags

These can give a quick indication of what has happened in the member’s check.

The flags that can be set are:

Flag Name Comments
NOTIFY
WARNING causes NOTIFY to be set
FAIL causes WARNING to be set
NOT CHECKED causes WARNING to be set
FAIL LOCAL cause FAIL to be set
FAIL BUCKLE
FAIL BUCKLE LAT_TORS
FAIL BUCKLE AXIAL MAJOR
FAIL BUCKLE AXIAL MINOR
FAIL LOCAL AXIAL
FAIL LOCAL BENDING MAJOR
FAIL LOCAL BENDING MINOR
FAIL LOCAL SHEAR MAJOR
FAIL LOCAL SHEAR MINOR
FAIL LOCAL TORSION
INFO LOCAL SLENDER cause NOTIFY to be set
INFO LOCAL SLENDER WEB
INFO LOCAL SLENDER FLANGE
INFO MEMBER SLENDER causes WARNING to be set

By necessity, the structure of member results is not design code specific.
