Handling Syntax Errors

Syntax errors occur when Command Manager encounters an instruction that it does not understand. This can be due to a typographical error (CERATE for CREATE, for example) or a statement that does not follow the required syntax in another way. For examples of the correct syntax for all Command Manager statements, see the Help.

When Command Manager encounters a syntax error, it displays the portion of the instruction set where the error was detected in the Script window and highlights the instruction. An error message is also displayed on the Messages tab of the Script window. Finally, if logging is enabled in the Options dialog box, the error message in the Messages tab is written to the log file.
