Re: Zero Date Source

[adrian <stori@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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).
