The Add Annotation wizard lets you add a new or existing ABL annotation to a selected set of ABL procedure and include files in open projects in your workspace.
This wizard appears when you select > from the main menu bar or the ABL Editor context (right-click) menu, or when you select from the context menu for the Project Explorer view or the ABL Editor. The following controls are available:
| Annotation selector | Displays a drop-down list of currently defined annotations available for use. You can manage the contents of this list at the Annotations preferences page. |
| Annotation template editor | Displays and lets you edit the content of the annotation to be inserted. The Edit button opens a dialog that supports changes specific to ESB annotations; this button is not active for other annotation types. |
| Available resources filter | Lets you filter the list of resources displayed in the treeview below. |
| Available resources list | On the first page of the wizard - Lets you select the
files to which the annotation is to be added. If you finish the
wizard without making any entries on the second page, the annotation
is inserted at the beginning of each selected file. Note: If the selected annotation is ESB - Main, class files do not
appear in the resources list because the OpenEdge Adapter for
Sonic ESB does not support class files.
On the second
page of the wizard - Lets you select specific points
(functions, procedures, and data members within the selected files)
where the annotation is to be added. |
| Show selected | If checked, filters the list of available resources to show only those that you have selected. |
| Back up selected resources | If checked, enables the Location field to let you specify a directory where copies of the original (un-annotated) selected resources are stored. |
| Location | Optionally specifies a directory for backup copies of the selected resources. |
