from the Commands menu, and you can print it by using the text

editor print command.
After the configuration file is compiled, the selected task(s) is

compiled and a log file is generated for the task to store any errors

and compilation statistics. The log file created has the same name as

the task and a .LOG extension. If there are errors, an object file will

not be created. Refer to Appendix D for application task size limits.
The Verify procedure also generates a crossĆreference file for each

task selected. The cross reference has the same name as the task

and an .XRF extension. The cross reference will list any undefined

symbols (declared COMMON in the task, but not found in the

configuration generated) and any unused symbols (defined in the

rack configuration, but not used anywhere in the task cross

referenced). This cross reference can be printed out. See section

8.12 for more information on the rack cross reference.
Follow the steps below to verify tasks.
Step 1.

Select the task(s) you want to verify.

Step 2.

Select Verify from the Task menu.

Step 3.

Correct any errors indicated in the configuration .LOG file,

the application task .LOG file(s), and the cross reference

Transferring Task Files

You can transfer all the files for one or more selected V3.4 tasks to

diskettes (or another hard drive, or another library on the same

drive), or transfer all the files for an AutoMax Executive V3.4 task from

diskettes (or a hard drive) into the current AutoMax directory (see

section 5.1.7 for additional information). The task will automatically be

added to the rack. Variables declared COMMON in the task are not

added to the configuration file for the rack.
This is different from adding a task using the Copy existing Task"

option in that the destination system and rack names cannot be

different than the source system and rack. Transfer is usually used to

update the task files in the destination rack to match files that were

edited in the source rack. It can also be used to make a backup copy

of selected task files (usually on diskette) that can be transferred

back to the original rack to restore task files to their original state if

they were edited after the transfer.
