The Add Procedure wizard helps you add internal procedure code to an ABL procedure or include file.

This wizard appears when you select Source > Add Procedure.

The following controls are available:

Procedure (Required) Select this option to create a procedure. Enter a procedure name in the Procedure name field.
Note: This option is available only if the current file open in the ABL Editor is an ADM (adm1 or adm2) file.
Override (Required) Select this option to have the Procedure name field display a list of the procedures for which you can create overrides. This list is the internal procedures of all or Super Procedures defined for the procedure file (excluding those internal procedures defined as PRIVATE). This option is disabled when there are no procedures to override.
Note: This option is available if the current file open in the ABL Editor is an ADM (adm1 or adm2) file.
Procedure name (Required) Specifies the name of the procedure.
Insert catch block If checked, adds a CATCH block to the generated procedure stub to support structured error handling.
Insert finally block If checked, adds a FINALLY block to the generated procedure stub to support structured error handling.
Private Specifies the access modifier that applies to a procedure. If selected, the procedure cannot called from any other ABL procedure file.
DB-Required If checked, a preprocessor directive is wrapped around the generated procedure allowing it to be conditionally excluded from compilation.

For more information, see Specify DB-Required code blocks.

Note: A procedure that is not DB-Required is excluded from a data object's client proxy r-code file and only included in the data object's main r-code file.
Insertion position Determines where the procedure code is inserted in the source file.
