Re: [WDSCI-L] variables in snippets






I had the same issue when using snippets. I solved my problem by using I
think it is called ellipse (...). I put the procedure name on one line
using the ellipse and the "B" on the next line. So my snippet looked like
this:

P ${name}...
P B

Giving me this when used:

P MyProcedure...
P B

Doing it this way allowed the "B" to remain in its original position.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] variables in snippets

Hi,

I'm trying to make use of snippets.

For marking the start and the end of the modification in a source

member,

I need the date and a work reference number. I started with thes as
variables. As I'm normally using the same reference number all day long,

I

found it quicker to not use variables and just modify the date every day

in the snippets instead of filling in the variables date and reference
number.

Now, I've added a skeleton procedure. So, I have

P ${name} B

Can I fix the B so that it stays in column 24 irrespective of the length

of the procedure name?

Thanks.
