Warning |
---|
Only text files whose names start with one of the recognized prefix letters (P, A, M, or S) are checked. See Appendix: File Naming for details about file naming conventions. If you are validating a file at a time and you choose a file with an invalid initial letter, it will fail validation. |
To Validate a Single File
- Select one of the form types in the “Select Form to Open” frame.
- Select the “Validate File” button (or the menu item Validate –> File).
You will be prompted with a standard Windows dialog box to select a file to validate.
Note |
---|
The list of files displayed is filtered to show only those with the correct initial letter (see Appendix: File Naming). |
- Pick the file you want to validate and select the “Open” button.
- When file validation is finished, you will see a message box telling you whether or not the file passed validation.
- If the file did not pass, open the exception report, fix the errors in the file and then re-try the validation.
To Validate a Report Folder
You may validate all of the PRL report files in a single folder in a single operation, instead of selecting each file individually.
- Select the menu item Validate –> Folder.
- You are asked whether you saved your files in the current report folder. If you answer “Yes”, the program proceeds with validation. If you answer “No”, you are shown a dialog box to select the folder that contains the report files.
- When validation is finished, a message box informs you:
- How many files were checked.
- How many of those files passed validation.
- How many files have warnings.
- How many files failed validation.
- Exception reports are created for any files with either Warnings or Errors.
