Folding

In the script editor you can fold and unfold code elements (regions). When you fold a code element, the element is collapsed so that the corresponding source code is hidden. The folding of elements can provide a better overview of the script structure, especially in large scripts.

The script editor supports folding of the following region types:

functions
header comments. Note: only header lines with a double *, for example lines starting with “|**”, are folded.
macros
sections

To fold a region, click the minus sign that is displayed at the beginning of the region. A plus sign is displayed at the beginning of the folded region.

This figure shows an example:

To unfold the region again, click this plus sign.

When you hover over a folded 4GL element, the hidden code is displayed.

Note: You can unfold all folded code elements in one go: right-click the marker bar (located at the left of the editor area) and select Collapse All.
