SoulEdit is a code editor, written in SOUL, specifically designed for SOUL application development. SoulEdit features extended editing capability - like split/join, bookmarks, display filtering and syntax-specific colors - as well as facilities that make running, debugging and testing SOUL code more seamless and intuitive.
SoulEdit runs as an application subsystem, so it needs an apsy definition for it to operate along with a minimum 640K server size - 750K would be safer as that provides room for future enhancements and the addition of user-written macros. See the ULSPF Installation Guide for more information on setting up the environment for SoulEdit. SoulEdit is also built into SirPro, which is part of the UL/SPF family of products from Rocket Software. It can also be run as a standalone editor by setting up a separate APSY - at Rocket we run it as an apsy called SE so it's executable from the command line.
Overview
SirPro is a menu-driven application subsystem that provides tools for programmers, database administrators and application managers inside the Model 204 environment. SirPro's primary feature set is centered on the manipulation of Model 204 procedures contained in Model 204 files. SirPro allows a programmer to search and display lists of procedures, and to Browse, Edit, Copy, Move, Delete and Rename procedures. To access SoulEdit from SirPro, use the 'E' prefix command from the list of procedure. If SoulEdit is defined as a standalone apsy (for example, 'SE') simply type the apsy name with a procedure: SE MYPROCEDURE where MYPROCEDURE is a procedure in the current file.
Command Line options
T[ n]|TOP[ n]|M+PF7 - go to the Top of the editor content... optional n (linenum) as top of page
B|BOTTOM|M+PF8 - go to the Bottom of the editor content
C <lineNumber> - center the line specified by lineNumber... lineNumber is absolute... not relative
+|-<numericValue> - position content relative to the numeric value
[-]F|Find <value> - find previous/next value from cursor position (PF5 repeats last find)
[-]/<value> - find previous/next value from cursor position (PF5 repeats last find)
R|REPLACE/<replaceThis>/<withThis>[[/n] ALL] - replace... n = replacements per line for replace... the character immediately following the R or REPLACE is used as a delimiter between tokens(cannot be alphanumeric)
A|ALL <value> - hide all lines that do not match <value>... command without <value> performs a SHOW ALL instead
HIDE <value> - hide all lines that match <value>
SHOW|HIDE COMMENTS - show or hide all comment lines
UNHIDE <value> - unhide all lines that match <value>
CLEAR HIDDEN|RESET HIDDEN - clear all hidden lines (unhide)
SHOW ALL|SHOW HIDDEN - clear all hidden lines (unhide)
[IN <fileName> ]GET <procName> - obtain the named proc and insert into editor... can use line command targeting
SAVE[ <procName>] - save current editor content (optional save into a different named proc including temp procs)
END - perform SAVE and exit the editor
QUIT - exit the editor without saving or giving a modification warning
ALIGN <value> - requires BB line command range (has issues when crossing 'block' statements)
SORT [A|D|ASC|DESC|ASCENDING|DESCENDING] - requires BB line command range
CLEAR - clear all line commands
RESET PROC|RELOAD|RELOAD PROC - discards any changes by reloading the current procedure from file
REFRESH PAGE - ignore any changes upon this page since last enter
NUM|NUMS|NUMBERS [ON|OFF] - show line numbers in prefix field (toggle)
= - Repeat last command (same as PF9)
command stack (pf6) - cycles thru the command stack
SET COMMAND STACK n - defaults to 10... but user may want to increase/decrease.
split/join lines (pf2) - cursor sensitive... if no data from cursor a join is performed else split is performed
FLIP HIDDEN - flip the hidden state of lines... hidden->shown && shown->hidden
FF|BB+FORMAT - FORMAT [width] [INDENT n] - format range (indents and alignment)... not fully completed... but mostly functional
UNDO FORMAT - reinstates the last FORMAT to its state before the format (does not check if code has changed)
SET FORMAT <type> - force the formatting type used by FORMAT/FF .. Valid types: M204, XSL
RUN (saves & runs code in a daemon) - output from the execution is scrollable (lost daemons are trapped and reported)
RUN TERM (saves & runs code on current thread)
RUN [TERM] [<procName> [FILE <filename> [PASS <password]]]
SHOW [ [RUN|OUTPUT]|RUN OUTPUT] - shows the output from the last executed code or commands line VAR/SHOW [SEQ] CHANGES
SHOW CHANGES - compares current content against proc on file and is displayed in a scrollable form
SHOW SEQ CHANGES - do compare against SEQ version in same procfile
SCALE (toggles on/off) - |...+....1....+....2....+....3...etc
PFKEYS (toggles on/off) - show valid pfkeys upon the last line of the page
NEW PROC[EDURE] - clear current code (essentially a quit)... and start with a blank proc
Formatting for XSL - change formatting where proc name ends with .xsl
HELP (pf1) - displays help text
VAR|VARS|VARIABLES - show variable usage(counts) within scope
SETUP|PROFILE - set user editor preferences
COLORS - set user editor color preferences
bookmarks .<value> - bookmarks...example. .foo as a line command bookmarks it... command .foo focuses the bookmark
CLEAR BOOKMARKS - clear all bookmarks
XCOMPARE|XC [EXACT|DEBLANK|COMPRESS] - XCompares current content against proc on file and is displayed in a scrollable form
XCOMPARE SEQ|XCS [EXACT|DEBLANK|COMPRESS] - do XCompare against SEQ version in same procfile (only works for SirLib users)
LAYOUT|MAP - list all class/subroutines/functions... can use pf4 to focus entry from listing
INCLUDES command - show heirarchy of all includes referenced within the current procedure
PROTECT/UNPROTECT - force the displayed content to be protected/unprotected
BB¦BLOCK WHERE - Used to add BB markers to the current 'where' scope
AUDIT [minutes¦timestamp¦LAST[RUN]] - This command shows the journal lines for the user... defaults to the last minute unless an
optional time is supplied
SET FILE <fileName> - sets the filename for saving procedures... also clears the procedure name
SNAP¦SNAPSHOT - Takes a copy of the code in the current editing session and saves it as snapshot
XCB [previous snapshot offset] - Compare the current code against the last snapshot taken
Used in conjunction with the pf12 key on the run output when compilation/runtime errors occur, the following commands can be used to navigate thru the errors in the currently loaded procedure:-
NE¦NEXT ERROR - Navigate to the next error
PE¦PREVIOUS ERROR - Navigate to the previous error
CE¦CURRENT ERROR - Navigate to the current error
CLE¦CLEAR ERRORS - Clear the error bookmarks
Line Prefix Commands
Block Prefixes - with repeating ignored
CC = Block Copy (requires targeting prefix)
MM = Block Move (requires targeting prefix)
DD = Block Delete
HH = Block Hide
** = Block Comment (set/clear - first line is used to determine state switch... if first char is * then comments are removed)
BB = Block Boundaries.. used with editor commands: SORT, ALIGN, FORMAT. Optional for R, REPLACE
FF = Format specified block - sets indenting to the number of spaces specified in the user profile.
Block Prefixes - with repeating honored
(so, for instance, ""3 replicates the block 3 times)
RR "" = Block Replicate
<< (( = Block Shift Left (with protections to prevent loss of leading text)
>> )) = Block Shift Right (with protections to prevent loss of trailing text)
Targeting Prefixes
A = Target After Line
F = Target Following Line
B = Target Before Line
P = Target Previous Line
Singular Prefixes - with repeating ignored
C = copy (requires targeting prefix)
M = Move (requires targeting prefix)
E = Expand line to 255 bytes (toggles on/off)
/ = center this line
- = folding of blocks... hide lines from marked line to closing/opening block... example: if -> end if... etc
X = Expand/collapse INCLUDE inline... only usable on INCLUDE lines... the expanded INCLUDE lines are protected
Singular Prefixes - with repeating honored
H = Hide
S + = Show
D = Delete
R " = Replicate
* = Comment (set/clear - if first char is * then comments are removed)
< ( = Shift Line Left (with protections to prevent loss of leading text)
> ) = Shift Line Right (with protections to prevent loss of trailing text)

PF9 = Repeat previous command
= shift+PF10 performs an ALL for the text under the cursor
PF11 = creates/appends the value under the cursor to a traceText upon the following line
PF12 = saves current procedure and opens the INCLUDEd text under the cursor. If the cursor is not on an INCLUDE line, no action is taken.
