Step 2: Write Logic and Compile

(Exercise 8, Run a Batch Application)
We will write the same logic we used in the previous exercise.
  • Press Ctrl+T to show names instead of labels in the edits tree.
  • Click on the + next to PERSON_RECORD_EDT then click on MARITAL_STATUS. The frame on the right hand side of the screen should show PROC MARITAL_STATUS at the top.
  • Type in the logic exactly as you see below.
  • Note that we used $ in place of MARITAL_STATUS. This is the same thing because the logic is inside the procedure for MARITAL_STATUS. In the CSPro language, $ is a short way of saying "this item."
  • Compile the logic by clicking compile button on the toolbar, or pressing Ctrl+K or selecting File -> Compile from the main menu.
  • Correct any errors until you see Compile Successful.
PROC MARITAL_STATUS

    if $ = 1 and AGE < 12 then
        errmsg("Too young to be married");
    endif;
