Menus and Menu Options in the 4GL Editor

The 4GL Editor has eight menus:

• the File menu,

• the Edit menu,

• the Repository menu: This menu will not be present where the active window contains a text file.

• the Program / Management rule / Macro-instruction / Program template / PGO / Class menu. The menu title will vary according to the source type in the active window, and will not be present if the active window contains a text file.
• the Tools menu,

• the Display menu,

• the Windows menu,

• the Help menu.

Each menu option applies only to the active window (except for the Exit option which closes all the windows before exiting the 4GL Editor).

Some of the editor's options are not displayed in the menu and can only be activated by a keyboard shortcut:

Quick declaration bookmark

This bookmark takes you rapidly to the declaration block to add or modify a variable. Repeating the keyboard shortcut return you to your initial point. This bookmark is only available in ADELIA type source programs.

- Ctrl+D takes you to the nearest declaration block.
