This menu is used to assign and edit conditions or formuals and appears at every point in the Program Editor where a condition or formula can be used. It contains the following options:
Select the number of the formula to be used here. By default an unused number is offered. Note that this allows you to re-use the same formula or condition several times in a procedure. Refer to the advice in Sharing Program Components on sharing formulas and conditions to decide how you want to make use of this facility.
Select the number of the formula to be deleted. Caution! Do not delete a formula unless you are certain that it is no longer used by any program or procedure. No warning is given if you delete a formula that is used elsewhere. The Weed Programs facility in QABUTIL can be used to automatically delete formulas and conditions.
Select this option if you do not want to use a condition or formula here.
Select this option if you want a copy a formula used elsewhere. You may copy formulas from any program in the current database. You may assign the copy a new number. The copy is then independent of the original.
Select this option to edit or create the selected formula/condition using either the formula entry or condition entry dialogs.
Select this option to return to your previous location when you have made the required changes to the formula.
