Error conditions

If a form panel contains an error, QMF displays the panel on which the first error occurs, with the word ERROR at the top of the panel. If only one form panel contains an error, QMF displays the word ERROR on all the form panels. The entry area containing the error is highlighted, and the cursor is positioned next to it. The message on the message line describes the error.

You must correct the error before you can see the next error or create the report. For more information about the error and what you must do to correct it, press the Help function key. To identify the next error, enter the CHECK command again and correct the error. Continue in this way until you correct all errors.

If FORM.CALC, FORM.CONDITIONS, or a column definition panel in FORM.COLUMNS contains an expression with an error, this error might not be detected until QMF passes the values to REXX for evaluation.
