Functions and routines read only?

[PilotBaha]

Be gentle, i took a year off from DS world.
I see that functions and routines delivered with software is ready only now. (i.e you cannot see the code). Is that the norm with 8.0 or is it because the software was setup that way?

It was really helpful to see the code to generate other code..

Read only != cannot see code. I don't have access to 8.x so are you saying the code cannot be modified or you literally cannot see the underlying code?

One of the "features" with version 8.0. All of the code is in a single line (no line breaks) and there is no ability to scroll over. I don't know if there is a fix for this.

As a workaround, you can export the routines (include readonly items) and view the source code in the dsx file.

Chris,
poor choice of words for me. Mike thanks for the tip..

Yes Craig. The code is in a single line as Mike said and the worst part is.... In the Code tab, we used to use a short width box which says DoJobReport(InputArg, ErrCode)
and a big box with code.
Now in 8.1, it looks like this in the short width box
DoJobReport(InputArg, ErrCode) $INCLUDE.....

Another one i could not digest is... the wonderful F1 help from designer is no more the same. In 8.1, when you press F1, it goes to a web page and when you enter something, it works like a search and there are no examples like previous version F1 pop ups. Previous version's F1 simply acted like a BOOKMARK page !!

Bummer. That's kind of... stoopie.

I am not seeing this behaviour in version 8.0.1 (on Windows).

Ray, i wish i have the same on UNIX version too ! I used 8.0.1 on UNIX sometime back and that too had the same issues.Anyways, getting accustomed to live with this
