In Clarion 6, your options for different sections of the IDE are located in an IDE Setup <\/strong>Menu:<\/p>\n

\"c6setup\"<\/p>\n

In Clarion 7, all of the important Application, Dictionary and other important IDE options are all accessible from the IDE Tools<\/strong> Menu:<\/p>\n

\"toolsmenu1\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are three new Application Options of note:<\/p>\n

On the Application<\/strong> tab:<\/p>\n

Check the Auto-Make Applications before compile<\/strong> box to trigger the Application Generator to generate source prior to the Build action if needed.<\/p>\n

Check the Auto start designer on pressing the Window or Report button<\/strong> box to auto-load the target Designer when pressing the Window<\/strong> or Report<\/strong> button located on the Procedure Properties window. You can still view the Window or Report text by pressing the tabs in the Procedure Properties window.<\/p>\n

On the Generation<\/strong> tab:<\/p>\n

Check the Use long file names for generated files<\/strong> to generate application source files using the full application name followed by a three digit module number.\u00a0 If you would like to use the older 8.2 naming format, clear this box.<\/p>\n

\"blueline\"<\/p>\n

The Dictionary Editor also has some great new options to help you fine tune your development environment.<\/p>\n

Set the Initial Version Text<\/strong> to display the text to display when the version is set. When you first create a dictionary it has an initial version with a name equal to what you set in that field.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the lifetime of the dictionary you can create new versions.
\nEach version is a marker that is used in the Audit details of an object. If you go to the Audit tab of any object in the dictionary you will see a Version against the Created and Modified details. This indicates which version of the dictionary the object was created in and in with version it was last changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Initial Freeze State<\/strong> defines the initial \u201cFreeze State\u201d of the dictionary components as they are first imported.<\/p>\n

After a conversion program is generated the Load Conversion Project <\/strong>option sets how you can load the project. You can set this to always <\/em>load the project, never<\/em> load the project or ask<\/em> each time a conversion program is generated. The default is to ask<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When Enforce Clarion# name restrictions<\/strong> is checked, the dictionary editor will not allow you to create labels that are not valid in Clarion#. For example. AS<\/em> is an illegal label, but legal in Clarion for Windows. If you do not want to worry about Clarion# restrictions you can uncheck this box.<\/p>\n

If Clarion# restrictions are enabled and you load a dictionary into the editor that has a label that violates the Clarion# naming restrictions the editor will automatically rename the object to ObjectType_OldLabel<\/em>, where ObjectType<\/em> is a Table, Alias, Global, Pool, Key or Column. If the object is a Key or a Column with no external name, the external name is set to the old label.<\/p>\n

For example, “AS STRING(10)” will be converted to:<\/p>\n

“Column_AS STRING(10),NAME(‘AS’)<\/p>\n

Any such change will\u00a0appear in the Dictionary Changes<\/strong> pad.<\/p>\n
