Hello

Currently I am in AppStudio trying create a new SET. When I use the SET tool it only gives me Available Settings however I want to incorporate our own -SET command.

Is there anyway to do this in AppStudio?

Are you wanting to use SET or -SET. These are different commands.

Hello

I am trying to use the -SET command.

I want to -SET something equal to a custom variable NOT a system variable.

For example
-SET &CLMNO1= &INSD_CLAIMNO | ' ' ;
-SET &CLMNO2 = EDIT(&CLMNO1,'99999999999999999') ;
-SET &CLMNOJG = EDIT(&CLMNO2,'99999999999999999') ;
-SET &CLMNOVB = &CLMNOJG || '*' ;
-RUN

As you can see I do multiple edits to the &INSD_CLAIMNO. How can I replicate this using AppStudio?

I'm not a big fan of App Studio or the GUI, but you should be able just type these in. Create a new procedure and just start typing.

I haven't seen a place to save off your own -SET settings via the tool layer, but usually you just write your own out via the text editor or source tab depending on where you are working.

A "-SET" is Dialogue Manger so just right click on the component that you want to precede your "-SET" etc. and select "New/Dialogue Mngr/Dialogue Mngr" from the context menu.

Whereas a "SET" is an environmental setting and is added using the "SET" tool - right click (as above) and select "New/Set" from the context menu.

Well, I feel dumb. Thanks for the insight and correction Tony! I was mixing those 2 different commands up when using the tool. Appreciate it!

Not dumb, just mistaken surely? Wink It's one of those things that many people get mixed up at times.

I am assuming that the DM is still added via text entry because it is so variable how people would want to apply it, that it would be nigh impossible to construct GUI other than for IF, Goto, Label or Repeats which have a little structure.

Of course the interesting bit will be whether Pak has picked up on this as they seem to imply that using "SET" is for a system variable?

I've always been lazy and use "New/Other" for adding both Comments and DM code.

Once you save it App Studio works out which is which.

Also sometimes do it for simple FOCUS code too - especially when cutting and pasting.

Cheers
