Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Open Client Introduction and Programming

Changing the procedure execution mode (type)

You can change the execution type of any procedure files already added to an Open Client interface object definition, using the Procedures tab folder. This folder allows you to select and move procedures between non-persistent execution (Non-persistent Procedures list) and persistent execution (Persistent Procedures list).

To move procedures between modes:

Select one or more procedures in one list.
Choose the Move to Persistent or Move to Non-Persistent button or the Procedure Change Type from the menu bar, to move the selected procedures to the opposite list.
Note: If you choose this function for a persistent procedure, you lose any customizations to internal procedures and user-defined functions that you applied using the Customize function.
