Compiling/Interpreting an Application
If you cannot compile an application when you click Go, the following sections can help you determine whether the 4GL compiler/interpreter is working correctly.
Disk Quotas
The 4GL compiler/interpreter creates files in various directories when you run an application. Use the following command or utility to make sure that you have not exceeded the disk quota or that the file system is not full:
Windows: Click Start, then Program, then Administrative Tools, to access the Disk Administrator.
UNIX:
df  
VMS:
show quota/disk = directory  
Use the previous command to check the following directories:
The directory in which the compiler/interpreter creates the temporary files that it requires to run an application.
This is the directory to which the II_TEMPORARY logical/UNIX environment variable is set, if any; otherwise, it is your current working directory.
The directory in which the compiler/interpreter creates the C, object, and error listing files that it requires to run an application.
This is the directory to which the ING_ABFDIR logical/environment variable is set.
For Vision applications, the directory in which the compiler/ interpreter creates the 4GL source code files for the application.
Determine the source code directory as follows:
1. In the Vision Applications Catalog window, select MoreInfo from the menu.
The MoreInfo about an Application window is displayed.
2. Select Defaults from the menu.
The Application Defaults window is displayed. This window contains the name of the default source code directory.
Subprocess Quotas (VMS)
To check that you have a separate subprocess available as required by the compiler/interpreter, type the following command at the operating system prompt:
show process/quota
You must see a subprocess quota of at least 10.
If you encounter any quota or file system problems, contact the system administrator.
