Correcting errors
in a packet filter
When you save a packet filter edited with the built-in text editor, the system
checks the syntax of the filter definition. If any errors are detected, the errors
are displayed and the editor is re-entered at the line containing the first
error. After correcting the errors, you must exit the editor and attempt to
save the packet filter again.
After you have corrected all errors and saved the packet filter, it is converted
to internal form and updated on the system.
