Creating a SPEXXX File in Sage ERP X3

If the SPEXXX program was not found, you can create it in editor.    However, after you compile the program, you must exit out of the X3 client before your changes will be recognized.    If you do not exit the program, then your SPE code will be ignored.   This only applies to the first time you create the SPE program.  After the SPE program has been created, you can make changes to the program without exiting again.

Deleting A SPEXXX File

Use caution if you need to delete a SPE program that you have created.  The reason is that if there are others are in the system, deleting the SPE file can create errors for the users.  You may think that deleting a program that you created would put the system back in its original state and therefore your bugs would be eliminated.   However, this is not the case because the users sessions running on the server will keep the last copy of the SPE file buffered in memory.  Therefore if you delete a SPE file, all users in a folder that accessed the SPE file must exit Sage ERP X3 to ensure the bug is eliminated.
