l
Store the IDin variable:Select in which jobinfo, local or global variable you want to store the error
ID.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process
where errors are being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the
variables selected in this window will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are
overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks
because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813,
W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission
errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that lets you
write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OKbutton,
and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Run Script
Run Script tasks are used to run scripts that typically perform some kind of processing on the job file
received by the task. Scripts are often simpler to write than programs added with the External Program
action (see "External Program" on page286). However, they can be slower to execute.
The Run Script action task can be used either as an action or a condition. When dragging and dropping a
Run Script action task on a given process, you select whether to use this task as an action or a condition
from a contextual menu.
For more information on scripts, what languages are supported and how to write scripts and conditions,
please see the related chapter, "Using Scripts" on page81.

Any data file, in any format.
