The OpenEdge AI Assistant gives Cascade access to ABL grammar, language reference, and documentation context. However, to compile, run, and debug ABL code, you also need to configure the OpenEdge ABL extension provided by the Riverside Software in Devin Desktop and set up your development environment.

This section walks you through setting up a fully functional ABL development environment in Devin Desktop, covering workspace configuration, project settings, database connectivity, propath entries, and .NET integration.

Note: The steps in the following sections are demonstrated using Devin Desktop. If you are using a different IDE, apply the equivalent steps for your environment.
