Frame Status
Vision sometimes displays an indicator in the upper right corner of a frame's box to show its current status. As an example, in the preceding figure, the Changed frame status indicator appears for the frame "addcustomers."
The following table lists the indicators that are displayed.
Status Indicator
This Indicator Appears
New
Until you first compile or test a frame
Changed
Whenever you:
Add or delete child frames
Change the menu item text
Change a frame's visual query
Add or change escape code or parameters
The Changed indicator means that Vision is going to recompile the frame before running it. This indicator is not displayed on a frame that you move to a new position in the application flow diagram, but does appear on the old parent and new parent of a frame that you move (because you have deleted and added a child frame, respectively, to the old and new parent frames).
Custom
If you have edited the Vision-generated code for the frame. The Custom indicator remains until you regenerate the code.
Error
If errors are found in the 4GL code when you compile a frame. The Error indicator remains until you correct the errors and recompile the frame. For more information about correcting errors in 4GL code, see Completing a Vision Application.
