In JADE, your method sources are compared using default behavior. Additionally, your workstation emits a beep sound when an error is detected in a method. You can use the Method sheet to change the default source comparison and error detection behavior.
To change your default method options
In the Preferences or JADE Installation Preferences dialog, click the Method sheet.
If you do not want to be prompted when checking out methods, select the Automatic Checkout or Manual Checkout (No Prompt) options button in the Checkout Options group box of the Delta Options frame.
If you do not want methods to be modified without a delta being set, check the Delta Must Be Set check box in the Delta Options frame.
If you do not want newly defined methods to be automatically checked out, uncheck the Check Out New Methods check box.
If you want the comparison of your methods sources to be displayed for changes only, select the Changes Only options button in the View Options group box of the Compare Sources frame.
If you selected the Changes Only option button in the View Options group box, you can specify the number of lines either side of the current method line whose changes are to be compared by selecting the appropriate context number from the Context list box in the View Options group box.
If you want white space compared when your methods sources are compared, uncheck the Ignore White Space check box in the Compare Sources frame.
If you want the case (that is, capitalization) ignored when your method sources are compared, check the Ignore Case check box in the Compare Sources frame.
If you do not want your workstation to emit a beep sound when an error is detected in your methods, uncheck the Beep On Error check box.
If you have patch control enabled and you do not want your method sources saved every time you compile a method, uncheck the Save Source on Every Compile check box.
By default, every time a method is compiled when patch control is enabled, the previous source (and hence a history entry) is saved. When you uncheck this check box, the source is saved only when the user leaves the method.
Click the Save button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.
The current window then has focus. Your selected preferences are the default options for your methods when you exit from JADE and then restart a JADE work session.
