Step 5: Recompile the Application

After you modify an application, you must recompile the application to create an updated load module for the application. You recompile the Department application by selecting the Compile activity.

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, press [Enter] to compile the application.

After you press [Enter] to compile the application, ADSA displays either a confirming message to indicate the you successfully compiled the application, or an error message when the application cannot be compiled because of an error.

In the case of compilation errors, you can display diagnostic information by selecting the View messages activity from the action bar. Based on this information, you can correct the application and then try to compile the application again.
