Expanding abbreviated keywords

To expand abbreviated keywords in the current file to their fully spelled equivalents (for example, to change DEF VAR to DEFINE VARIABLE):

  1. Optionally, select a block of code in which you want to expand keywords. If no text is selected, the entire file will be formatted.
  2. Press CTRL-SHIFT-1 or select Source > Expand Keywords.
    Note: At the Editor preferences page, you can turn on or off the option to have the ABL Editor automatically expand keywords as you type.
