In Case of Errors
When the file is completely compiled, the window line again displays the
forms file name, as shown in Figure 2-9.
If you attempt to exit without compiling the forms file, a message is
displayed that states:
WARNING: Forms file modified and not compiled. Press EXIT to exit.
Be sure to compile the forms file before exiting.
If you have made any mistakes in defining a form, a message is displayed
in the window line during compilation. The message directs you to press
NEXT to see the menu in which the error occurred. If you press NEXT, the
menu with the error is displayed. When you correct the error and press
ENTER the correction is recorded and the Main Menu is displayed. Again
type an X in the selection box and press ENTER to compile the file.
Action
When the forms file ORDFORM1 is compiled, exit from FORMSPEC by pressing
EXIT, which returns you to MPE control. The colon prompt (:) is
displayed on the screen. You can then run FORMSPEC again, run any other
program on your system, run ENTRY to enter data, or log off.
