Re: Zero Date Source

Unlike CODE/400, where you had pretty much full control from your macros over the entire 'IDE' (namely, the editor window), WDSC's LPEX editor lives on top of Eclipse. Eclipse's menus (such as "Edit") are controlled through programming for Eclipse, which is an entirely different topic (and off-topic in this newsgroup)...
In this specific case, you could use the command version of the example (namely, SetDateAction.SetDate), to be run from the LPEX command line (as "setDate <newDate>"), or you could add the action to the editor pop-up menu (the TestUserProfile example does something similar).

Hello:

I was playing with the sample extensions the other day and I found one that
will zero the dates.

To see the list of examples, on the command line type 'help examples'.

The one in question is 'SetDateAction'.

The instructions are there on how to run this from the command line.

You have to select the lines you want to change first.

I'm just starting to try to figure out how to extend the editor (I use REXX
Macros in CODE/400). 
So here is my question.... How would I make this extension available from
the edit menu?
