The Save Actions features allows for selected actions to
occur automatically while a file is saved. The actions performed are
defined by the Save Actions preference.
You can specify save actions for the PL/I source files and include
files separately. If save actions is enabled, the actions performed
during a save are defined by
Formatter preference.
- For PL/I files, the save actions relate to indentation, capitalization,
and line length. You can select on the Save Actions preference
whether all formatting options or just the capitalization options
are automatically performed when saving.
- For a include files, the save actions include upper case of include
file code and comments.
When saving a file in the COBOL Editor, the following sequence
occurs:
- Formatting is applied to the file
- File contents are saved
- Preprocessor statements are identified
A progress bar shows the status of the save process.
