MODIFYING AN APPLICATION
Library, data, program creation and edition
•
To declare a new library, go to the library mode of the application, press the Add key in the pop-up menu, then
select the library to load and enter the corresponding identifier for the project.
•
To create a new data, select the type of variable and press the New key in the pop-up menu.
•
To add a frame or a point in a frame, go to it and press the New key in the pop-up menu.
•
To add a tool, go to a tool and press the New key in the pop-up menu.
For further information on modifying programs, consult the Reference Manual for the
VAL3
language.
Note:
It is not possible to delete a variable, a program, a point or a tool if they are used in a program. It
is not possible to add a parameter or a local variable to a program if the application is active.
Program editor
The
VAL3
program editor can be accessed via the list of programs in the application manager; it enables you to
modify programs (to insert, delete, or modify an instruction).
Each instruction added to the editor is checked. If it is not valid, an error message is displayed and the instruction
is refused. In the event of an error, see the reference manual for
VAL3
language to correct the instruction
concerned.
The editor proposes a program tree, which means that the instructions set up (if, while, for) are displayed in the
form of a node that can be expanded or contracted.
Example:
COLLAPSED EXPANDED
+ if nb>12 - if nb>12
- switch nb
- case 5
break
+ case 7
endSwitch
else
put
("error")
