Editing an Existing C/C++ Service
You can use the
Designer C/C++ service editor to edit C/C++ services that were created in
Designer or Developer. Additionally, you can use
Designer to edit C/C++ services you created with your own IDE, provided that you properly commented them as described in
Building Java Services in Your Own IDE and
Adding Comments to Your Java Code for the
jcode Utility.
Keep the following points in mind when editing an existing C/C++ service:
You have the C/C++ service locked for edit. If you attempt to edit a C/C++ service that you have not locked for edit, you can still open it in the C/C++ service editor. However, the source code, properties, inputs, and outputs will be read only.
If you want to use Unicode characters in the C/C++ service, you need to change the text file encoding preference. To do so, in the Workspace preferences, select
Other under
Text file encoding and select or type a new encoding.
Important:Software AG recommends that you do not update the service signature of the C/C++ service in the Input/Output tab of the C/C++ service editor.
