Edit an existing defined word

Modify the name, equivalent value, or comment for an existing defined word to accommodate the requirements of the project. For example, change the value in a literal expression.
To edit an existing defined word
  1. From the
    Application View
    , double-click
    Defined Words
    .
  2. In the
    Defined Words
     grid, change the required properties:
    • Name
      -- Name of the defined word. Limited to 32 characters beginning with a letter or single underscore followed by letters, digits, and single underscore characters. Names cannot be reserved words, defined words, or data types. Names must be unique.
    • Equivalent
      -- String replacing the defined word during compilation. For example, the defined word "PI" is replaced by its equivalent "3.14159". Limited to 255 characters.
      TIP: Do not use spaces for the equivalent string. Using a space prevents saving of the new defined word.
    • Comment
       -- Comment in free-format text (up to 60 characters) for the defined word.
