Diary Generation

Generating a diary (executing the current script) in Q++ is very quick, less than 2 minutes in most cases. It is therefore usual to test your script as soon as you can. The essential condition for you to be able to generate a diary is that there remain no error messages in the Messages Window.

To execute the current Script, press F9 or use the RUN|execute menu or its associated button on the toolbar. If you have a large script (many pages and/or many ScriptLines), and you are concentrating on getting one particular grid done (or re-done), then you can choose to only generate a single scriptline.

•	The RUN\|execute menu or its associated button on the toolbar will remain disabled as long as there are error messages in the Messages Window.

•	Throughout this help file, we will use the terms "execute a Script", "generate a diary" or create an output file" interchangeably.

If your Script's Pre-Processing ScriptLine's Confirm Exec Options property is set to true (it is by default), the Scripts Execution Options dialog will appear.

Clicking on the OK button starts diary generation.
