Using the System Configurator

and prompt you to delete it. A dialog box will be displayed for each

duplicate variable.
To fix this error, first write down the variable name and register. Then,

click on OK to delete the variable. If you do not delete the offending

variables, you will not be able to configure the module. When you

have deleted all the offending variables and noted all the variable

names and locations, configure the module as desired. You may

have to edit your application tasks to reflect the new configuration.

5.1.8.5

Source Drive and Subdirectory for Import
It is important that the files to be imported be stored in a specific

manner as follows. The only configuration task in the subdirectory

should be the configuration task for the rack you want to import. The

configuration task does not need to be compiled because the import

procedure will compile it. If there is more than one configuration task

in the subdirectory, the import procedure will use the first one found,

which may not necessarily be the configuration you want to import.
The Import procedure will copy in all the application tasks (.BAS,

.BLK, .PC. and .INC) found in the subdirectory. However, only those

tasks with corresponding TASK statements in the configuration task

will be added to the tasks database. If no application task exists for a

TASK statement, you will be prompted to delete the task when you

enter the Task Manager. Utility tasks (those without TASK statements)

can subsequently be added in the Task Manager, which can use the

imported source file of the same name.
