Adding and Editing Actions

Adding an Action

To add an action, do the following in the Actions area:

1. Decide where to place the new action, and click the action just before where you want the new action to be included.

2. Click the New menu and then select an action.

   The DTL Editor adds the new action below the action you had selected.

3. Edit the details for the new action.

Other techniques are possible for assign actions, as discussed in Actions That Set or Clear Values.

Editing an Action

To edit an action, first select it. To do so, do one of the following:

• If the DTL diagram displays the action, click the icon on the corresponding connector line.

• Click the item in the Actions area.

Now edit the values in the Actions area. Optionally, you can disable the action by selecting it and then clicking the Disabled check box. If you disable a FOR EACH or IF action, all actions within the block are also disabled.

InterSystems IRIS executes the actions in the order they are listed in the Actions area.

To rearrange actions, use the Actions area:

1. Click the check box for the action.

2. Click either the up arrow or the down arrow, as needed:

Alternatively, use the Cut , Copy , and Paste buttons.
