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 PReS 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.
Search and Replace
Search and Replace action tasks are used to locate and replace strings of data within the job file and to
replace them with other strings of data. Note that this action task cannot be used with binary files.
For more advanced search and replace functionality, you can also see "Advanced Search and Replace" on
page245.
Input
Any text-based file can be used in this task, even formats that are not directly compatible with PReS. As long
as the text is visible in a text-based editor (such as Notepad), it is readable and supported by this task.
Processing
The appropriate changes are made to the data file (replacing text).
Output
The modified data file is output from this task. Metadata is not modified in any way if it is present.
