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 OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Translator
PReS Workflow Translator action tasks can convert your data from its current encoding to a
number of different encoding. The same data may be converted back and forth as required.
The Translator Action Task is useful for data file using foreign languages, as well as to convert
Unicode data file (which are not supported by PReS Workflow).
Technical
You can create your own translation matrix files for the Translation Action Task by adding
them to the following folder:
%CommonProgramFiles%\Objectif Lune\PReS Workflow 7\Plugins\Translator
Two examples are already present, converting ASCIIto and from IBMEBCDIC.
