how can i utilize Webspeed 'check-syntax' from within Windows text editor ?

[mosfin]

i'm using Windows text editor to write ABL code, but to check syntax, i use telnet connection to Linux server (which has DB,AS,WS servers) and compile under character client.

my question is, how can i compile ABL code from within my windows text-editor, using WS/AS services by passing my sourcefile path & propath as arguments ?

thanks,
M

Since i cannot connect to the database thru windows, I map my linux directory and code in a text editor. I still have to run a compile command in unix. Somehow, i still just end up editing code in vi.

If you could have a 4GL license on your Windows box, ED for Windows provides a very tight integration including syntax checks and color coding.

Of course, you could also use OpenEdge Architect ...
