Opening an Existing Record

All aspects of your application are stored as records in tables in the repository, and can be edited in the System Editor, when source code is provided. Different types of entities are stored in different tables. For example, the table SYSPROCS contains user stored procedure source code, SYSREPOSPOPUPS contains the source code for Popup entities. The following procedure lists the steps to edit an existing record.

Procedure: To Edit an Existing Record

• Choose Open Record from the System Editor File menu. The Open Record dialog box is displayed as shown below.

• Double-click the desired table which contains the source code for the appropriate record from the Table list. The selected table is displayed in the Table edit line and a list of this table's rows is displayed in the Row list.
• Select the row name from the Row list.
• Check the Display Source Rows Only, if required.
• Click the OK button. The Open Record dialog box is closed and a child window displays the source code for the selected record as shown below.

You can open multiple source code records at the same time by repeating the steps above. Each document is displayed in its own window. You can use the clipboard to cut, copy, and paste text between windows.
