Attachment (Use case)
(comments from Gabriela)
By looking at generated code closer, one way to easily improve the
structure of the code would be by adding a big comment box for all the
Functions and SubFunctions the way it is currently done for LEVEL 05
Functions.
Another improvement would also be to add comments indicating that a
Subfunction is part of an ELSE condition. As the code stands now, the
only way to know that the Subfunction was an ELSE condition is by
following the GO TO statements. With complicated levels, this would be
cumbersome and RISKY.
Will this feature update code that has already been migrated? Or will it be only available for new customers.
The feature that is described in this request is a candidate for a future release.
