Without getting into the depths of an issue we have, our IS dept is suggesting that the code found in one of our dashboard parameter properties on an HTML page should not be there. All I know is that, by default, it is there on EVERY parameter. Removing it seems to make the things run sloooooooow.

What is thee ramification of altering the property for the paramater on the HTML form from this:
TABLE FILE TBLMSTR_UNITS
SUM FST.TBLMSTR_UNITS.TBLMSTR_UNITS.IDXSPECIALTY
BY TBLMSTR_UNITS.TBLMSTR_UNITS.IDXSPECIALTY
// TODO: Add your filters here to replace defaults
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END


to this:

TABLE FILE TBLMSTR_UNITS
SUM FST.TBLMSTR_UNITS.TBLMSTR_UNITS.IDXSPECIALTY
BY TBLMSTR_UNITS.TBLMSTR_UNITS.IDXSPECIALTY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END


I would think it would have no impact...no?

It is odd, but that '//' makes the line a comment, so removing it should make no difference to performance. The comment is added by Dev Studio HTML Composer, and maybe also by App Studio Canvas.

well removing it appears screw everything up! But thanks for confirming that it was just a comment.

I suppose the intelligent GUI needs this as a placeholder...
