Lists
Process comments
This list displays the possible options for processing comments when converting an ADELIA source to display it in a tree structure. This list is only enabled if the "Display tree view of Adelia sources" option is selected.
Processing comments consists in trying to intelligently reposition the comment boxes that precede a block at the top of the block itself. This is only done if the editor detects that the program source needs to be reordered when opened.
The following options are possible:
Ask when opening the source |
If this option is selected, the editor will ask the user what to do when a program is opened, if necessary. |
Do nothing |
The comments are left as they are. This is the default behavior prior to Adelia Studio 11 PTF07. |
In the procedures and breaks |
The comments will be moved to the start of the next block if they are situated between an instruction at the end of the block (END_SFTKYS_PROC / END_PROCEDURE / END_PROCESSING) and the instruction at the start of the next block (SFTKYS_PROCESS / BEGIN_PROCEDURE / BREAK_PROCEDURE / TOTAL_PROCEDURE). In this mode, certain comments will not be repositioned, in particular if the block concerned directly follows an instruction block with no end marker (INITIALIZATION / TRANSACTION / VERIFICATION / VALIDATION). |
Throughout the source |
The editor attempts to detect and intelligently reposition the comment boxes throughout the program's source. |
