Screen Program properties

To set Screen Program properties, right click on the program name and choose “Properties” from the pop-up menu. The following panel appears.

From the main screen you can set:

Program name	Name of the program
Main screen	Initial window
Description	Comments that are generated in the REMARKS paragraph.
Program-Id	Type of program (Resident, Initial, None).
Prompt when program exits	If set, additional code is generated to handle the program exit. The user will be asked to confirm the closing of the main window.
Code generation	Specifies which parts of the source code must be generated. By default, the whole source is generated and these settings are inherited by the general Preferences.   It’s also possible to specifies the paragraph naming convention, for compatibility with other COBOLs: Note - The compatibility is automatically set to ‘Acubench’ or ‘Totem’ when you import programs from these environments. For brand new programs created with the IDE, instead, the compatibility is set to ‘isCOBOL’ by default.
