Toolbar

The toolbar located at the top of the editor displays buttons for many of the actions that you can do in the Data Exchanger Component Editor.

The following buttons are available:

  • . Opens a Find dialog box to search for a string in the data source. For more information, see Searching a Data Source.

  • . Edits the selected action.

  • . Deletes the selected actions.

  • . Closes the current data source.

  • . Opens a new data source.

  • . Creates a new section from the selected lines.

  • . Marks a location in a General Text region. Searches for the currently selected text, or prompts for a search string if no text is selected. For more information, see Working with Markers.

  • . Inserts a calculation. Calculations evaluate expressions and assign the value to a parameter. For more information, see About the Calculation Editor.

  • . Creates a conditional statement. You can use the Calculation Editor to enter an expression (e.g., i < 10) instead of a complete assignment statement.

  • . Creates a For Loop. For more information, see Creating Loops and Conditional Statements Using the For Loop Editor.

  • . Creates a While Loop. For more information, see Configuring a While Loop Using Markers.

  • . Inserts a comment into the list of actions.

  • . Inserts arbitrary Java statements as an action. When you click OK, the Java code is checked for errors. A single block of Java code may be split into multiple actions if the Data Exchanger Component Editor recognizes some of the Java statements as specific action types (e.g., calculations, read/write actions).

  • . Edits full Java source of the actions. For more information, see Using the Full Java Code Editor.
