Linking existing Program

With Javra IDE, you can also create a program without needing to associate with a menu. You can create an independent program and save it. This way, the program just exists but won’t be visible under any menu. You can link such existing program to your menu/program later.

You can also create a new program by following steps explained below:

• Click on ‘Add new program record‘ icon of Programs section on left panel.
• Type-in the program name and check ‘Create Folder’ checkbox and click Done.
• Select table name and fields to import and click Done.
• After that, you will find the program added in the Programs list as shown below:

In order to link an existing program to the currently created program, follow the following steps. Here we will use a program we created above named c/custmorderline.p and link it to Customer program. You may use name of an existing program that you desire to link.

• To do so, Go to the XE Developer Studio, Select the program Customer.
• Right click on it and select New folder (Link program) option.
• A new pop-up window will appear where you need to provide your existing program name you want to link to.
• Either type your program name or right click in the field Program*, the list of available programs will appear in the Lookup section, select one as shown in the image below. (Here we have selected existing program c/custmorderline.p for demonstration purposes).
• A tabbed program shall be created. The tabbed program can be accessed from My_Menu>Customer> tab Order Line. It should look as the image below.
