Running an Application from a Project

After compiling your project, you can run your application. What happens when you run your project depends upon the project options you have selected:

If you have selected your execution file format as source file, each file in your project is compiled and then run using the command you specified as the run command.

If you have selected your execution file format as a .sav file, the most recently compiled version is run using the command you specified as the run command.

Note
You must have compiled or built your application before running it.

For more information on setting options for your project, see Setting the Options for a Project.

To run your application, complete the following steps:

Open your project. Select File

Open Project. Select the path and name of your project file.

Select Project

Run.
