Error: The action/event must be specified
Description
This error is displayed in the list of errors and warnings at the bottom of the procedure editor when an action or event does not contain all the required information.
More information
Some actions in ANY-maze require extra information to be specified; for example, an action to activate an I/O output switch must specify which switch it is. Likewise, when waiting for an event, there are events that require some secondary information; for example the Animal enters zone event must specify which zone it is.
If an action of event does not specify this extra information, this error will be generated.
Example
In the following section of a procedure, the first Wait until statement is missing a zone, and the Action statement is missing the switch that it is to activate.

The list of errors and warnings at the bottom of the procedure editor will list more specific details of what is missing:
