Data Type: CompSource Attribute

4GL Access: R

The ObjectSource attribute contains the source description of the procedure or frame as stored in the database or executable file.

There is only one source object associated with any number of executable versions of the object. For example, if you use an openframe statement to open two versions of a frame, producing two concurrently running windows, you have two FrameExec objects that both use the same FrameSource object.

Any changes to the source object associated with a running executable frame or procedure take effect the next time the program calls the frame or procedure. However, OpenROAD does not save the changes to the database or runimage file. The changes are visible only in the current running application.
