-GE Lines of a Data Element

These lines are related to the error messages that are displayed after an error on a Data Element called in a Logical View. You can overwrite the standard error messages or indicate error messages for errors that are described with specific code. These messages are then displayed for all the Logical Views that call this Data Element.

You can modify these messages in the following tabs:
  • -GE Lines of the Data Element call (-CE Lines) in the Logical View. These new messages are then displayed in this particular Logical View.
  • -GE Lines of the Business Component that is related to the Logical View call. These new messages are then displayed in this Logical View that is called in this Business Component.
You can create, reorder, or remove lines with the table buttons (whose position can be modified with the design editors preferences) or with the contextual menu that you open by right-clicking the table. You can also use the contextual menu to Copy and Paste lines. The Special copy and Special paste choices are also available in the Data Element -D Lines, Report -L Lines, and -G Lines of all the entities.
  • If you select Special copy, a dialog box opens. You must select the columns to be copied and indicate whether you want to copy their content to an external editor or to the same tab of another instance of the same entity. The copied content is then placed in the clipboard.
  • You can select Special paste to paste a content that was copied from an external editor. In this case, you must select the column where the content is to be pasted. You can also select Special paste to paste a content that was copied from another instance with Special copy.

The first column of the table can be used to select contiguous or non-contiguous lines. To select contiguous lines, click this column on the first line to select and press the shift key on your keyboard. Then, select the other lines by clicking the last line to select or by using the arrow keys on your keyboard. To select non-contiguous lines, click a line, and then select the other lines by clicking the first column and pressing the ctrl key on your keyboard.
