Source Editor Menu Commands

File Menu

Many of the items in the main File menu are editor commands.
New Empties the contents of the source editor. You can enter text and save it as a new file.
Open Opens an existing file in the source editor.
New Editor Window Starts a new source editor window with no file loaded.
Clone Editor Window Opens a new editor window loaded with the same file as the editor window from which it was cloned. This process can be repeated multiple times. See Basic Editing for more information.
Reload Source File Reloads the file currently loaded in the source editor.

Save Saves the file currently loaded in the source editor using the file's current name.
Save As Saves the file currently loaded in the source editor with a name you provide using a file chooser dialog box.
Save All Source Files Saves all files currently loaded in active source editor windows.

File Picklist JDe maintains a list of files that you load into the source editor. Whenever you load a file into the editor, its name is added to the top of the list. Choose a file from this list to load it in the source editor.

This list contains the 20 most recently edited files in the order they were loaded into the editor. This list is maintained across JDe sessions. If a file is deleted from the file system, it is deleted from the list.
