Cloverleaf 6.0: Xlate can’t pick local proc over Master

[Jim Kosloskey]

All,

A long standing enhancement request to provide a proc selection pull down in the Xlate GUI has not been provided in 6.0 but an attempt has been made to indicate whether a referenced proc is local or global (Master Site resident) through italization.

However, if the local tclprocs directory contains an xltp type proc with the same name as a Master Site proc (which might happen when testing modifications to the proc) the Xlate GUI always selects the Master Site proc which I believe is incorrect (and indicates it by italics). I believe the seletion process should favor local over global. But then that provides challenges in this instance as well.

So other than renaming the local proc I cannot see a way to force selection of a same named local proc.

Obviously the situation would be resolved if a pull-down would be provided as well as font indication of what was selected.

This has been reported to Infor.

All,

I looked more closely and apparently a pull down has been added – thanks Infor!

In the code pane (Pre or Post) right click and an ‘Insert’ button will appear, left click on that button and a dialogue panel for selecting procs appears.

Sorry for the misinformation.
