The most important functions are also assigned to function keys.
Keys are assigned to the following functions:
Key Function
Help
END or Back
Printing the currently shown workbench display
Starting the module or program
Marking
Refreshing
Switching between action bar and form
Scrolling one page up
Scrolling one page down
Activating the command line
( in some systems
~/
~)
Workbench function keys within the editor
The detailed description of the built-in editor is included in the User Manual. The following editor keys are important for the SQL-PL workbench:
Module Save
The currently edited module is stored in the database by means of the
key (corresponds to the command SAVE) without converting it into the internal code. Afterwards the module is
in the 'EDIT' state.
Module Test
When the
key is pressed, the current module is syntactically checked and then started. One can correct and test a module, until the result is satisfactory; then the module can be
stored, whereby the editor will be left. When a module and the program is tested, all modifications made to database contents are rolled back at the end of the test run.
Module Values
This function key is not displayed, until the test execution has been terminated. Pressing
generates a list of all variables of the module displayed within the editor. The list
contains the current values of the last TEST execution. The display of the variables can be restricted by specifying a search argument.
Module Store
When the
key is pressed (corresponds to the STORE command), the current module is syntactically checked and, if this check has been successful, stored in the database in its
internal code. Thereby all pieces of information about the relations are maintained in the Data Dictionary (DOMAIN), and the editor is left.
