The Generated Code Structure view displays a hierarchical tree showing the generated nodes of the Program, Screen, or Server. You can easily spot where specific code was entered. Moreover, if you modified the design of a Program, Screen, or Server that contains specific code, you must consult this view after each new generation. This view shows whether the reconciliation (which integrates the new design while keeping the specific code) detected any potential problems.
For Pacbase, the nodes correspond to functions, subfunctions, sections, and divisions.
if the text block representing the node is generated.
if the text block representing the node contains
specific changes: if the generated code was modified, if code was
added or deleted. The following symbols specify the type of specific
change:
is displayed where you modified the text of the
node and no error was found by the reconciliation.
is displayed where you added a block of text in
the node or created a specific node.
is displayed where you deleted the whole text of
the node (if you deleted only part of it, it is considered as a modification).
symbol.By default, the tree displays the titles of the generated and specific functions and subfunctions. These titles are extracted from the comment that precedes the function or subfunction. Only the relevant characters are recognized. Characters such as *, +, or =, and the NOTE character string are not included in the titles. If you do not want to display the titles of the functions and subfunctions, clear the option Display the long labels of the nodes from .
