You can add your own templates to the library of annotations that are available for insertion into ABL source files via the Add Annotation wizard.

To add an annotation template:

  1. Choose Window > Preferences.The Preferences window appears.
  2. Choose Progress OpenEdge > Editor > Annotations. The Annotation page appears.
  3. Click Add to launch the New Annotation dialog.
  4. Fill in the new annotation's name and value.
  5. Click OK.
    Note: The templates that ship with the Annotation Generator contain two specially coded preprocessors, %FILENAME% and %MODULE%. %FILENAME% expands to the filename including the extension. %MODULE% expands to the name of the directory where the file is stored. These are the only preprocessors the tool can expand. The tool does not support customer-created preprocessors.
