Create and Edit the Source Code for a 4GL or 3GL Procedure
After you define a 3GL or 4GL procedure, you can call the system editor from Vision to create or edit the source code for the procedure. You can create the source code file at any time before you run the procedure.
You cannot access a database procedure directly from Vision.
To create or edit the source code for a 4GL or 3GL procedure
1. Select the procedure as the current frame in the Application Flow Diagram.
2. Select Edit from the menu.
3. Select Source Code File to open the source code file for the procedure.
Vision calls the system editor and opens the file you specified when you defined the procedure. You can write new source code or edit existing code.
4. When you are done, save the file.
When you exit the system editor, Vision returns you to the Application Flow Diagram.
