Where is OpenEdge
« on: September 08, 2013, 01:16:13 am »
There has been a rather big gap in my active modeling ... like since 9.1 ... but I have kept the product up to date.  I am now starting to do some modeling again and find that I am have to poke around to find things that have moved and such.  One thing I am having trouble remembering or finding is how to tell EA that the model I am working on is for Progress OpenEdge ABL.    I have added the datatypes from my prior work ( http://www.oehive.org/node/1073 ) and the datatypes show up in both the database and code engineering lists, but I don't see a way to make ABL the default language instead of having to set it for every class.

You need to set the default language in Tools/Options/Source Code/Default...

I got close!  I got to the Tools/Options screen and saw a list of languages that didn't include OpenEdge, but clicking on the Source Code Engineering at the top provides the default language choice you reference and ABL is there.

Of course, in the mean time the light bulb has gone on and I have realized that I am building a CIM model, so the data types should be generic, and only turned into ABL datatypes during the translation process.  

But thanks!  I will need this for another project I am doing soon of enhancing my ABL to UML tool.
