Editing a data structure

You can edit a data structure using the Data Structure Editor. The Data Structure Editor is used to manage fields for data structures. The editor is displayed when you use the Get or New functions for data structures or open a data structure from MAK Navigator tab. The editor can be viewed in horizontal or vertical alignment using the buttons located at the top right corner of the window. The version field displays the version string from the java file.

The Data Structure Editor can detect if a data structure is of type Standard or MI. However, this can only be done by M3 Adaptation Kit if the data structure already contains a string of length 1. Otherwise, M3 Adaptation Kit prompts the user for input on how to save the string. See information about editing and saving a string in Editing a field.
