Viewing and working with C/C++ parser properties

You can view the project or resource level properties of a C/C++ file through the Properties tab within the editor instance.

Procedure

To view and work with the properties of an open C/C++ file, complete the following steps:

  1. In the editor instance for the open C/C++ file, click the Properties tab to open the Editor Properties page.
    Note: The information that is displayed in this page is dependent on the context from which the C/C++ file was opened. For example, if the file was opened from within a project or from the Remote Error List view. The information contained in this page is also used by other features in the z Systems® LPEX Editor, such as content assist.
  2. From the Current Context drop-down list, select the context for which you want to view information on this file.
    Note: The information displayed in the System include path section displays the system include path that is used to search for system header files. The information displayed in the User include path section displays the user include path that is used to search for non-system header files. The Macro definitions section displays the macro definitions associated with the open file.
  3. By default, the Additional properties section displays the save.textLimit property that has been configured in z Systems LPEX Editor. This value can be configured in the Maximum line length field in the LPEX Editor > Save preference page.
  4. Type the new value that you want to use to set the column limits for this editor instance and restrict text to a specific column number.
    Note: The value is only preserved for this editor instance.
  5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
    The new value is displayed in the Additional properties section.
