I've just started to look at OR. I've created a frame with some
fields and when I go to Tools->Scripts a frame script template is
opened. I added some code and saved and quit the file.

If I go to Tools->Scripts again a frame script template is opened
again, but the previous edits are not there. In ABF one of the
attributes of a frame was the name of the script source code file, but
I don't see that attribute in the Frame property inspector.

Do not change the name of the (temporary) file when saving.

The script should be saved with the frame source in the repository
(database).
There is no external file storage - OpenROAD is not using source code
files.

Hi Dennis,

The frame script code resides in system catalogues within the code
database you have defined for your current OpenROAD workbench profile. A
source file is not stored in the same way as it is in ABF. However, when
you choose to edit a script, it is temporarily saved to a file which is
then opened by the default editor.

I wonder if your problem is the location in which this temporary file is
being created has a space in the name. If you're on Windows then try
setting II_TEMPORARY to c:\temp (assuming this exists). Do this by:

ingsetenv II_TEMPORARY c:\temp

I'm sure this group won't mind you posting this question here but look
at (the all new improved) OpenROAD Users Mailing List if you have more
OpenROAD questions:

http://groups.google.com/group/openroad-users?lnk=srg

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Tom

I kind of came to this conclusion as I got in to this. Not sure I
like this so much as it makes it difficult to (re)view source code
unless you're in the workbench environment, and have the frame open
for edit.

The temporary file is being created in C:\opt\IngresII\ingres\temp,
which is where II_TEMPORARY points to.

Thanks for the pointer to the OpenRoad group. Wasn't aware that it
was there.

When using an external editor you have to close the editor before it shows up in the repository. The OpenROAD editor does this automagically for you.

That's in fact not the case - the default editor just uses the script,
which is a StringObject, in a multiline entryfield.
Only if you use an external editor a temporary file is used.

Which editor are you using?
What are your settings of II_WINDOWEDIT and II_WINDOWVIEW?
I expect II_W4GL_SYSTEMEDITOR=TRUE.

I assume that you do not:
- open the frame "read only"
- "Discard changes" when leaving the frame editor

Visual SlickEdit

II_WINDOWEDIT points to Visual SlickEdit and
II_WINDOWVIEW points to vi.

Yes.

The frame is opened for "edit"

I issue a :wq (using vi mode in Visual SlickEdit). At first I just
did a :w, then thought maybe I should also close the file.

But I don't close Visual SlickEdit as there are other files open for
editing. If I need to close the editor then I suppose I could have
II_WINDOWEDIT point to vi as well.

Actually, I take this back :-)

I have II_EDIT and II_VIEW set. Do I need to also have II_WINDOWEDIT
and II_WINDOWVIEW set as well?
