Viewing the Display of Changes to a Versioned Method

You can view only the changes made to the source of a versioned method, by selecting the Changes Only option button in the View Options group box of the Source Management sheet, accessed from the Options menu Preferences command.

The Compare Sources window is then displayed. In general, source modifications are displayed in the following format.

current-source indicator latest-source

See also "Viewing Versioned Methods", in Chapter 2 of the JADE Development Environment Administration Guide.

The locators a, c, or d represent the type of add, change, or delete modification, respectively, that was made for a specific line number. For example:

Value Description
2d1 Line 2 in current-source has been deleted
4c3 Line 4 in current-source has been changed to line 3 in latest-source
6a7 Line 7 in latest-source has been added after line 6 in current-source
9a11 Line 11 in latest-source has been added after line 9 in current-source

The Context list box in the View Options group box of the Method sheet of the Preferences dialog enables you to specify the number of lines that are displayed on either side of the changed lines when changes only are selected, if required. (By default, lines on either side of changed lines are not displayed.)
