Splitting or Joining WEBDYNPRO CommandsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can split commands into several commands in the structure editor; either into commands with a size of a page each or, with finer granularity, into phases. The phases are the possible elements of a page: screen, gets and checks, data changes, action, and close. You might want to do this, for example, to insert other eCATT commands, or to test or control the script.

Several commands can be merged into one or more new commands. The smallest number of new commands will be generated. For example, if two of the original commands have the Reset node set, these will not be merged into the same new command.

Parameterization is unaffected. The new command interfaces will have the appropriate parameters.

Procedure

Splitting Commands

  1. In the command editor, position the cursor on the command.

  2. Choose the desired granularity from the context menu Start of the navigation path Split Next navigation step At Page Level End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Split Next navigation step Split into Phases End of the navigation path.

Joining Commands

  1. In the command editor, select the commands to be merged by marking the area with the mouse.

  2. From the context menu, choose Join.

Result

The original commands are commented out and new commands and their command interfaces are created. The original command interfaces still exist. If you are sure that you no longer need it, you can delete it.
