Finding Errors After Generation

To find errors that occurred during either batch or interactive generation:

  1. Access the Source Entry Utility (SEU). On the Submit Model Generation & Creates panel, place E in front of the program object in error.
  2. Enter an 'E* Y2' search string. On the SEU positioner line, type 'E* Y2' and press F16. The editor goes to the line beginning with E* (message ID) on which the error is located in the compiled source. Press F16 again to continue the search.
  3. Look for the prior user point in error. User points are identified by the USER comment line. You can use F16 (find) and the string USER to locate the incomplete action diagram statement(s) that caused the error(s).
  4. Exit SEU and return to the function's action diagram to make the needed corrections.

For more information on the SEU editor, refer to IBM's Application System/400 Application Development Tools: Source Entry Utility User's Guide and Reference.
