Compile errors pop up in a separate window which you can leave open while
you are editing. Then when you save your work and re-compile the popup
window refreshes. If you have set II_W4GL_COMPILEEDITOR then the feature
will behave differently.

Microsoft Query does all that but is fiddly to set up and where a
parameter is being used twice in a WHERE clause, it prompts you twice
Ingres Visual DBA is much simpler but there is no parameter passing and
no obvious way to save the output
Is there some other app out there that lets you do it all ?

Hi Barry,
First of all, DocumentApp (-a) is not a very reliable source for “diffing”,
but anyway I’m trying to explain some of the problems you encounter:
Most of the items you mention are not from the fields you
created, but come from the field style prototype fields in the “Style
Sheet” (Tools menu),
e.g. the stylefield1_1, stylefield13_1 and variant_bb items.
Basically you should remove all the StyleSheet fields from the
documentapp output before doing a diff,
otherwise you will just see diffs in the internal implementation of the style
sheet – nothing what you should really care about.
Also there are some “false friends”, e.g. the
reported MenuBar might just the remainder of a menu which doesn’t
exist any more:
When deleting all menu groups from a menu that menu disappears from the view of
the developer, but the underlying MenuBar is still existent and gets reported.
And then there are cases were only the order of the fields in the output is different, so there it’s actually a “move” rather than a “diff”.
Example: The order of the child fields of a table field will
change by switching off “HasScrollbar” and switching it on again.
This is because “documentapp” reports the children according
to their occurance within the childfields array.
Switching the attribute off removes the scrollbar from this array, switching it
on again appends the scrollbar to the end of that array.
So, doing a “diff” with some common line-oriented “diff” tools will report lots of differences – they don’t detect that the field is still there, just at another position.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bodo.
