Abstract: A method and apparatus for allowing for field size calculation and color coding display options usable in an emulated integrated development environment (IDE). A user may be able to quickly and accurately calculate the field size of variables in a code structure, irrespective of the length of the structure or the number of variables selected. The user may also be able to match the variables with their redefinitions accurately and easily when required. A user may also be able to easily identify the names of sections, paragraphs, referenced variables, and unreferenced variables visually in a code editor. The users may also be able to assign colors of his choice to the sections, paragraphs, referenced variables, and unreferenced variables.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a user-friendly file explorer usable in an emulated integrated development environment (IDE). The file explorer may allow users to perform functions within an emulated IDE that were previously unavailable. Such functions may include, for example, browsing a list of qualifiers, files and elements; opening multiple data files for viewing or editing; opening files having multiple file formats; converting Unicode characters; and filtering of listed qualifiers, files, and elements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for copy process configuration in an emulated integrated development environment (IDE). The configuration may allow users to easily refer to the files that contain copy processes. Users may configure copy processes just by specifying the workfile names that contain the elements of the copy process definitions. Users may also view the absolute path of the definition files selecting a copy process name in a program code.
