Check the 4GL Syntax
Now that you have created the form, you can check the syntax of the 4GL code.
The Compile operation in the Edit a USER Frame Definition frame compiles the 4GL code and performs all necessary syntax checking. The Compile operation is optional. If you do not select Compile to perform a syntax check, the 4GL code is automatically compiled when the application is run.
To perform a syntax check
1. Choose the Compile operation.
2. If there are errors or warnings, ABF tells you about them, and offers you the option of displaying and correcting them on the Error Listing Frame. For more information, see Create the 4GL Source Code File for a User-Specified Frame.
If there are no errors, and the code is syntactically correct, you return to the Edit a USER Frame Definition frame.
