    To check the document template created, the system creates a structure file in ASCII format that contains all control objects in the template (with the exception of character sizing objects).

    The syntax checks on the structure file are as follows:

    • Analysis of the structure file (finds symbols and control data)

    • Check for all symbols and their parameters

    • Check for all repeating groups and their parameters

    • Check for all symbol nesting

    • Creation of error message log

    • Saving the structure information

  2. On the Messages tab page, choose the function with the quick info text Go To to localize the error in the document template and correct the syntax.

    Use the checkboxes as indicators for already corrected warnings or errors. Read the detailed error description using the Long Text function.

A document template can be used to generate a report if it does not contain any errors.
