Editing a Basic File in the BASIC Editor

This shows the information about a basic routine like routine name, rating and grammar level.

This shows the rating details.

All labels of the code are listed in the Labels branch with information about where they are and where they are used.

The labels are marked with an icon. Each of the icon defines a status. The following icons are used:

• Blue (information): This is a good label.
• Yellow (warning): This label is not used in the code. The compiler avoids it.
• Red (bad): This label is in a loop and make the compiler drop-down to level 0 (see the chapter Compiler).

If the labels are in current routine, then click the label name to highlight it in the editor. If the label is in other file, then you can double-click it to open the Basic file in the basic editor.

All Jumps (GOTO, ON...GOTO, RETURN TO) in the code are listed in the Jumps branch with their details. The jump detail is important because this branch statement will downgrade the compiler level to 1.

Clicking on a jump will select the corresponding statement in the editor. For example, Use at: tSM: 273:13.

This branch lists the JBase Functions that are in hold in the routine. Clicking on the JBase function will select the corresponding statement in the editor.

This branch lists the user defined functions used in the code. Clicking the function name will select the corresponding statement in the editor.

An icon in front of it indicates its status.

• Blue (information): This function is used.
• Yellow (warning): This function is not used.

This branch lists the $INSERT files in the code.

Clicking the name will select the corresponding statement in the editor and double-clicking the name will open the INSERT file in the basic editor.

This branch lists all defined EQUATE TO or LIT in the code.

An icon front of it indicates its status.

• Blue (information): This equate is used.
• Yellow (warning): This equate is not used.

This branch lists the defined calls in the code.

An icon front of it indicates its status.

• Blue (information): This subroutine exists.
• Yellow (warning): This equate does not exist.

Clicking on Use at... will select the corresponding statement in the editor and double-clicking on the same will open the subroutine file in the basic editor.

This branch lists the common and internal routine variables.

Clicking on a variable will open the corresponding I_COMMON file and display the variable. If it is a common or an internal variable, you will be redirected where it is used in the editor.

This branch lists the errors and warnings that are reported from a compilation.

An icon in front of it indicates its status.

• Blue (information): Information about the compilation.
• Orange (warning): A warning about the compilation.
• Red (error): An error about the compilation.

Clicking the problem will redirect you to the corresponding statement in the editor.

When an open or a save action is triggered, the outline view is automatically refreshed.
