Programming Error Messages
These Red Dot Error messages occur while you are working in the Program View.
When creating a program, the parser is executed when you left mouse click, when you arrow off the current Line, when you enter the carriage return, when you paste or when you drop a drag source. The parser detects errors and marks the line with a “Red Dot”. To get further information on the cause of the error you use the programming tool bar’s red dotted question mark.
