Refactoring Areas

  • OpenFileDialog, SaveFileDialog refactored to use BlobImport, BlobExport functions
  • DownloadToFile to normalize file names (removing the path)
  • CreateClientFile, ClientTempFileName replaced by ServerTempFileName
  • File.Create to store files on the server and download when GUI is allowed
  • Other File Management cases to be refactored are logged with comments

Triggers​

Where new code is inserted into the triggers it gets refactored from a comment to trigger. Table and Page triggers are included.

//trigger Onlnsert() 
//>>>>> ORIGINAL CODE: 
// begin 
/*
JobsSetup. Get; 
#2..31 
*/
//end ; 
//>>>>> MODIFIED CODE: 
// begin
/* 
JobsSetup.Get; 
Message('Hello new job!');

end;
