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.
Comment
Comments can be used to clarify your process either for yourself or others, to explain branches and scripts,
or add information for anyone editing the configuration in the future.
Comments do not open, modify or otherwise process the job file in any way, and are simply ignored at run-
time. They do not have an On Errortab because of this, since they cannot generate an error in any situation.
Comments have a single property in the General tab, which is the box where you enter the comment itself.
This box does not process variables (it is not a "variable property"), since that would be of no use at run-
time.
File Name Condition
File Name conditions test the original name of the job file traveling down the process branch, or in other
words, the name of the file received by the last input task appearing above the condition.

l
File name mask: Enter one file name mask or multiple masks separated by a semicolon (;). See
Masks. The condition will be tested True only in the case of an exact match, so consider using
wildcard characters.
l
Invert condition result: Select to toggle the result of the condition (true becomes false and vice
versa).
