Step 8: Compile the Application

When you compile an application, ADSA creates a load module that incorporates all of your specifications. You compile an application by selecting the Compile activity from the action bar on the Main Menu screen.

You compile an application from the Main Menu screen. To get to the Main Menu screen from the Task Codes screen, press [PF5].

Compiling the application

To compile the application, position the cursor on the Compile item on the action bar and press ENTER. You can position the cursor on Compile by:

    Add  Modify  Compile  Delete  Display  Switch  ._____________________________________________________________________________.               │                       │               │  1  1. Compile        │ ation Compiler               │     2. View messages  │               │-----------------------│ s International, Inc.               │ F3=Exit               │               │_______________________│     Application name  . . . .   XXXAPPL     Application version . . .      1     Dictionary name . . . . .   DEMO     Dictionary node . . . . .   ________     Screen  . . . . . . . . .   4  1. General options                                    2. Responses and Functions                                    3. Global records                                    4. Task codes  Command ===>  Enter  F1=Help  F3=Exit  F10=Action

Once you have displayed the Compile action item, choose 1 and press [Enter] to compile the application.

After you press [Enter] to compile the application, ADSA displays messages to indicate whether the application has been compiled successfully

If you receive an error message you can display diagnostic information by selecting the View messages option from the Compile activity on the action bar. Based on this information, you can correct the application and then compile it again.
