Module/Variable Compatibility Problems
If registers defined in an AutoMax V2 module cannot be configured in
the current version of the Executive software, or the database is
somehow corrupted, an error message will be displayed
(invalid/incompatible data type) when you try to configure the
module. This error can occur because the current Executive software
treats duplicate status registers, e.g. Interrupt Enable," differently
than in version 2. If one register is read only (R) and the other
read/write (R/W), the current software allows you to configure just the
read only register. Note that for duplicate status registers, R/W refers
to the operating system's ability to write to that register, not the
application task's. An error message will be displayed for each of the
affected registers.
To fix this error, write down the variable name and address displayed,
then delete the variable. You will not be able to configure the module
unless you delete the offending variable. When you have deleted all
offending variables, configure the module as desired. You will have to
edit your application tasks to reflect the new configuration.
20.5
Printing Problems
The Executive software will print all tasks and files 132 characters per
line. It does not, however, change page orientation and will not use
soft fonts. Printers must be set up in the Windows Setup procedure
(see section 5.5.1) and the AutoMax Printer Setup procedure (see
section 5.5.4).
If you experience problems with printing AutoMax files, try printing a
file from the Windows Notepad to determine if the problem is with the
Executive software or with the Printers Setup. See the Microsoft
Windows User's Guide for additional information.

System Errors
Errors that indicate a problem with the Executive software will cause
the application in which they occur to close. If this type of error
occurs, write down the error message; then contact Reliance.
