Turning Syntax Assist off in EPM. 7/20/94
File: osotepm1.fax 5/11/94
TITLE: Turning Syntax Assist off in EPM.
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
In an EPM session, when opening certain files with a supported
language-specific extension (.C, .CMD, .PAS), hitting 'Space' or
'Enter' will automatically invoke syntax expansion. For example,
when editing a rexx file, typing '/*' will invoke EPM to generate
the proper syntax coupling '*/' after pressing 'Space' or
'Enter'.
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
Syntax Assist can be turned off dynamically by entering the
command: EXPAND OFF on the EPM 'Command Dialog' command line or
you can make the changes permanent by creating a PROFILE.ERX file
containing: /* EPM profile */
'expand off'
and turning the 'Profile On' in the Command Dialog.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
1. Syntax Assist can be turned off dynamically.
a. start the EPM editor.
b. Click on Command.
c. Enter 'EXPAND OFF'.
2. By default, syntax assist is ON. To change the default:
a. Start the EPM editor.
b. Enter the following lines:
/* EPM profile */
'expand off'
c. Click on file.
d. Click on 'save as'.
e. save the file in the \os2\apps subdirectory with the name:
PROFILE.ERX
f. Click on Command.
g. Enter 'PROFILE ON'.
h. Click on Options.
i. Click on 'Save'.
