Verifying Tasks

Use the Verify command to check that all the variables defined in the

selected task(s) are used, that the configuration for the rack is valid,

and that no syntax errors are present in the selected task(s).
The Verify procedure will first compile the rack configuration file,

referred to as _CONF.CNF on the screen during the compilation

procedure. A log file will be created to store errors, as well as

compilation statistics. The log file is named _CONF.LOG. If there are

any errors, an object file will not be created. Refer to Appendix D for

configuration file size limits.
Note that the configuration log file errors will be displayed in the form

of statements with line numbers, which are used by the operating

system only. Ignore the line numbers and statement format. Use the

descriptive error message immediately underneath the line number

to determine the error. For example, the message symbol already

defined" will be displayed when a duplicate variable name is found in

the rack configuration and the offending variable will be clearly

marked on the screen. You can view a log file by using Edit Any File

from the Commands menu, and you can print it by using the text

editor print command.
After the configuration file is compiled, the selected task(s) is

compiled and a log file is generated for the task to store any errors

and compilation statistics. The log file created has the same name as

the task and a .LOG extension. If there are errors, an object file will

not be created. Refer to Appendix D for application task size limits.
The Verify procedure also generates a crossĆreference file for each

task selected. The cross reference has the same name as the task

and an .XRF extension. The cross reference will list any undefined

symbols (declared COMMON in the task, but not found in the

configuration generated) and any unused symbols (defined in the

rack configuration, but not used anywhere in the task cross

referenced). This cross reference can be printed out. See section

8.12 for more information on the rack cross reference.
Follow the steps below to verify tasks.
Step 1.

Select the task(s) you want to verify.

Step 2.

Select Verify from the Task menu.

Step 3.

Correct any errors indicated in the configuration .LOG file,

the application task .LOG file(s), and the cross reference

file.
