Any professional knows that it pays to invest in the best tools for their trade. For the OpenInsight developer, the tool that is most often used is the System Editor. This is why we have devoted ourselves to producing the best add-on Editor available: the SRP Editor.

Although it was primarily developed from our own extensive experience with OpenInsight, we requested feedback from many other developers so the SRP Editor would be everyone's tool of choice for Basic+ programming and data record editing. A picture is certainly worth a thousand words so we have provided below a list of features with screenshots. However, if you want to experience it for yourself just scroll to the bottom and download an evaluation copy for yourself.

Realtime and Expanded Colorization Your code is instantaneously colored according to your preferences, even with very large programs. Furthermore, you get several choices for personalizing your code - including four different comment options (for when you want to distinguish between documentation and remmed out code.)

Goto Label Tool Finding a label in your code is quick and easy. Either click on the combox on the toolbar (or access it automatically by pressing Ctrl-L), select your label, and press enter. Immediately you are put into the area of code you want.

Goto Column Tool Data records are now much easier to navigate. Our Goto Label dropdown becomes the Goto Column dropdown whenever you edit a record. As you move between field rows, the dictionary column name immediately appears in the tool. Furthermore, selecting a dictionary column from this list immediately navigates you to that field.

Tabbed Interface Now you can open multiple stored procedures, records, inserts, and DOS files without losing sight of them. Each item you open gets its own tab with a special symbol that identifies the type of item it is.

Delimiter Friendly A lot of attention went into making the SRP Editor a tool that respects and appreciates system delimiters. First, each delimiter is displayed with a unique, but unmistakable, symbol. No more guessing what a delimiter is by trying to associate the ANSI character to the respective value. Second, delimited data can be expanded within the same window simply by pressing Ctrl-E or Double-Clicking in the margin area (Shift-Ctrl-E or Shift-Double-Click to collapse). Finally, each section of data that has been delimited with a record mark is visually separated with a horizontal line that allows you to collapse the entire section for easy readability.

Bookmarks Moving back and forth between different sections of code is now a snap with bookmarks. Just press Ctrl-F2 and a bookmark is placed to the left of your code in the margin. Pressing F2 quickly navigates you to the next bookmark. (F2 also navigates you to any debug statements and lines with compiler errors.)

TCL Just press F5 when you want to use the command line. Standard AREV commands (and aliases) are supported and you can run any stored procedure...without having to type "RUN" first. When you are ready to hide TCL, pressing F5 again will take care of that for you.

Auto Text Common code fragments (e.g. declarations, inserts, headers, etc.) can now instantly be copied into your stored procedure with the Auto Text feature. Just add your favorite lines of code (or any text) into one of 10 storage areas and instantly recall them by pressing Ctrl-0 through Ctrl-9. It will even remember where you left your cursor and what was highlighted!

Stored Procedure "CallTip" If you need a quick hint on what parameters a Basic+ command or custom stored procedure needs just press Ctrl-T while inside the parenthesis.

Convert and Save As Do you need to copy a data record into a DOS file? Do you need to convert source in a text file into a stored procedure? Just use the Convert and Save As menu item to transfer any item type into any other item type.

• DOS File Support

  Editing files on your hard drive is simple. Just press Ctrl-B or use the menu option to open a DOS file.

• Auto Commenting

  Using block commenting is usually helpful for commenting out multiple lines of code. However, when a block comment needs to be included within another block comment this normally causes problems. Now all you need to do is select your lines of code and press Ctrl-/ and voila...every line is pre-pended with an asterisk. Press Ctrl-/ again and the asterisks are removed!

• Auto Indenting

  Formatting code is often a tedious problem. Now you can indent (or reverse indent) any selected block of code using the Tab and Shift-Tab key respectively.

• Stored Procedure Deletion

  Quite often our SYSPROCS, SYSOBJ, and Repository tables get cluttered because of test or deprecated code. It can become too time consuming to use the Delete Entity function of the Application Manager to clean this up. Now just click on the Delete button (or press Ctrl-D) and the source, object, debug trace, and all respective repository entities are simultaneously removed. Data records and DOS files can also be deleted with this tool (i.e. "RUN DELETE_ROW" is now optional.)

• Table Search Utility

  Our free, but powerful, SRP Table Search Utility is designed to work with the SRP Editor. After you have found the record you want, just double-click on the item and it is automatically opened in the Editor...even taking you to the line number where the search string was found!

• More!

  Multiple levels of Undo/Redo, innovative style options, context menu Oconv/Iconv, and more are available in the SRP Editor.

The full version of the SRP Editor is $400 (USD). Licensing is per serial number and therefore works fully with the development engine (e.g. W12345678) and all runtime engines* (e.g. X12345678) for one price. Discounts are available for repeat customers and multiple product purchases. Simply contact us at sales@srpcs.com for more information on special pricing.

* Some features are disabled in runtime applications as per Revelation Software licensing restrictions. This includes the ability to compile source code.
