Modify Frames or Procedures
After you have created a series of frames and procedures for an application, you can modify them easily.
To modify a frame or procedure
1. At the Edit an Application frame, highlight the frame or procedure you want to modify and choose Edit.
2. When you see the appropriate Edit a Definition frame, choose the edit option you need. FormEdit allows you to edit forms. Edit runs the system or report editor for report specifications, host language source code, and 4GL-source code.
3. Choose Compile after editing forms or source code procedures to incorporate your changes into the application.
After each editing session, ABF updates the modification date on the related Edit a Definition frame. When you make changes to a form, ABF automatically marks the 4GL specification for the frames that use that form for recompilation. They are recompiled when you select Go or Image for the frame or application.
