Advanced PowerBuilder
 The
DW Syntax Tool
To help you create DataWindow statements,
PowerBuilder ships with a syntax tool, which is by default installed in the same program
group as the PowerBuilder. When you run this application, you are presented with the
following screen:
If you are a v4.0 or prior user, you will
see a different screen, with all the functionality of the above screen, except for the
'Dot notation'. ( Dot notation was introduced with v5.0 ). This helps you create the
required DataWindow syntax, for any purpose, by simply making selections from the menu
bar. You can then paste the syntax to the clipboard, by selecting from the Edit
menu and then copy it to the PowerBuilder script.
This tool also offers an RGB calculator as
shown in the following picture ( in v4.0 ). From v5.0, it displays the standard MS-Windows
color definition dialog box.
This allows you to create custom colors.
Copy the RGB value to the clipboard, so that, you can use them in your PowerBuilder
applications.
