Re: How to see file-level properties in Screen Designer

Thanks, Brian


I also found the file name in the Outline view - I might submit an Idea - it's not always easy to find some things in these designers!

Don't think you're missing anything, Vern. The simplest way I have found 
to get File Level keywords in the Properties view is to click on the 
file name in the Outline view. It would be nice to have a Fn key or icon 
that provides a shortcut - but I doubt that Screen Designer will see any 
enhancements.

If I go to the Source tab and click on one of the elements at the beginning of the source, The Properties view does show tabs for Basics, Display Size, Border, Function Keys, and Keywords - the last has DSPSIZ, MSGLOC, PRINT, ERRSFL, and INDARA.
