The Views preference page allows you to set some general preferences that affect the Console, Outline, and Resources views. It also allows you to suppress or enable warning messages regarding running code that contains errors.
Select to open the Preferences dialog. In the tree view, expand Progress OpenEdge and select Views to open the Views preference page.
The following options are available on the Views preference page:
| Show compile log in Console view | Display build messages in the standard Eclipse Console view. No build messages are displayed when this check box is cleared. |
| Show informational messages in Console view | Display informational messages (such as project startup status) in the standard Eclipse Console view. No informational messages are displayed when this check box is cleared. |
| Show warning messages in Console view | Display warnings (such as the failure to start the AVM) in the standard Eclipse Console view. No warnings are displayed when this check box is cleared. |
| Split functions and procedures in Outline view | Display functions and procedures in separate categories in the Outline view while editing an ABL source file. The alternative is to show procedures and functions grouped together in a single category labeled Code Sections. Regardless of the setting here, you can toggle between these two display options by double-clicking the root node for one of the categories (Functions, Procedures, or Code Sections). |
| Show procedure libraries in Resources view | Include a fully expandable node in the Resources view that shows all procedure libraries available to each project. Clear this check box if you do not want this node to appear in the Resources tree. |
| Show warning message when running procedures that contain errors | Enable a pop-up alert that appears when you run a
procedure with errors, allowing you to abort the Run command. The alert includes a Do not show this warning again option. (You
can re-enable warnings after suppressing them by selecting this
option again.) |
