Status Display

The current status of a development object is always displayed in the tool with which you are editing it. The status indicates:

• Whether a database version exists for an existing development object (new Ö active/inactive).

• Whether the current state of the object corresponds to the state of the object in the database (revised Ö saved). The status saved is not explicitly displayed. Objects are always saved as inactive.

• Whether the database version is inactive or active (inactive Öactive).

The following versions of development objects may appear in the status display:

When you create a new object, there are two possible status displays. If, for example, you create a function module, it is already saved, and therefore has a corresponding inactive version in the database. The status display in the Function Builder therefore says Inactive. On the other hand, a new GUI status does not exist in the database until you save it, and consequently has the status New in the Menu Painter.

Another source code version occurs immediately after you have loaded a program from temporary storage; in this case, the status is Temp. version (changed).
