Compile errors in a spool file are loaded into the edit area. These additional statements cannot be accessed, nor are they copied back to the source file. The advantage of not using the browse window, is that it allows the browse window to be used to view another source member. Note: Spool files can still be displayed in browse mode.
Compile errors can also be loaded from the compiler output file (*PGM objects only) instead of from the spool file. It is much faster to read just a couple of database records than 100 pages of spool file to find that one terminal error.
