Re: [WEB400] Writing Source Member to Web Page

[Justin Houchin <jhouchin9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,
    When i go to compile my Subprocedure, I get the compilation error
message: External description not found for file specified as externally
described; file ignored.  I believe that I have created my QHTMLSRC file
wrong. Can you tell me how you created your file?


Thanks,
