Creating Procedures With the Text Editor

In this section:

WebFOCUS provides a text editor that you can use to create, view, edit, and run the source code for procedures and HTML files required by your applications. The text editor enables you to use familiar Windows editing techniques, such as cut, copy, and paste. You can also find and replace text and specify case. Changes you make to source code in the text editor are immediately reflected in the graphical tools.

This chapter contains information about the capabilities of the text editor when working in the applet. For details about using the text editor in Developer Studio, refer to Editing Application Components as Text in Developer Studio in the Developing Reporting Applications With Graphical Tools manual.
