Source menu

The Source menu contains options specific to the ABL Editor. The Source menu is available from the Source main menu and from the editor's context (right-click) menu.

Check Syntax	Checks the ABL syntax of the current file. This option does not save an r-code version of the file.
Compile	Builds the current file and saves the r-code.

Correct Case	Applies the user preference for keyword casing for keywords in the current file.
Expand Keywords	Replaces abbreviated keywords in the current file with their fully spelled equivalents.
Correct Indentation	Indents lines in the current file to improve readability.
Organize USING Statements	Organizes USING statements in ABL sources that are currently open or selected. It removes duplicate and unused USING statements and sorts the required ones in alphabetical order. It expands`.*` to a fully qualified package type. It also prompts you if a referenced type name cannot be mapped uniquely to a type in the current project.
