Compiling Scripts

Note

If you use Source-IV to edit scripts, you must compile the scripts from Source-IV. If you use the Script-IV script editor to edit a script, you must compile the script from the script editor.

You cannot execute a script until it has been compiled. The compiler produces a 3GL Thoroughbred Basic program from the source script, a program listing, error messages, and error diagnostics. If no errors occur, the resultant program can be executed.

Please refer to the Source-IV manual for details on how to compile scripts.

If you are using the older IDOL script editor, please refer to the Appendix – IDOL Script Editor and Compiler section of this manual.
