You can specify a regular expression for compilation error filtering. You can set this standard compilation property in your 3GL language compilation settings.
If filtered properly, errors with the associated source file name are displayed on the output pane as links. This enables you to navigate the errors in the source. Because of the design philosophy of the Netbeans application, the regular expression for compiler error filtering must be the property of the compiler type. Therefore, the error expression is associated with each 3GL language and DCL compiler type.
Configuring the error expression
For example, the standard error expression used in COBOL is:
[ \t]*[A|a]t line number ([0-9]+) in file (.*)$
You can use this same error expression to filter compiler error messages from other OpenVMS 3GL compilers, such as Pascal, Cobol, C++, FORTRAN, Ada, Bliss and Basic.
