information for sc is not found
Hi,
I found below sentences from an IR document,
To determine whether the SCI tools are installed on the IR system, at the Unix prompt, enter pkginfo sc
If the SCI tools are not installed on the IR, the system displays the following message:
UX:pkginfo: ERROR: information for sc was not found
In above sentence, can I use "is" at the position of "was"? and why?
Thanks.
