Implicit buffers not detected

[ccleaud]

Hi,

Implicit buffers are not yet detected thus not listed in the 3P code explorer under "Tables used" section.
Consider following code: nothing is detected (often needed to press the refresh button).

DEFINE TEMP-TABLE tt_batch_compile_files NO-UNDO XML-NODE-NAME "file"
    FIELD cSourceFullFileName   AS CHARACTER    XML-NODE-NAME "file-name"
    FIELD cErrorsDir            AS CHARACTER    XML-NODE-NAME "error-dir"
    FIELD cXmlXrefFile          AS CHARACTER    XML-NODE-NAME "xref-file"
    FIELD cListingFile          AS CHARACTER    XML-NODE-NAME "listing-file"
    INDEX idx_pk IS PRIMARY UNIQUE.

DEFINE TEMP-TABLE tt_batch_compile_settings NO-UNDO XML-NODE-NAME "setting"
    FIELD cKey        AS CHARACTER    XML-NODE-NAME "key"
    FIELD cValue      AS CHARACTER    XML-NODE-NAME "value"
    INDEX idx_pk IS PRIMARY UNIQUE cKey.


DEFINE DATASET dsBatchCompile XML-NODE-NAME "batch-compile"
    FOR tt_batch_compile_files, tt_batch_compile_settings.

Just adding this line changes all:
DEFINE BUFFER bXXX FOR tt_batch_compile_files.

Can you fix please?

Hmm, actually the problem is that it shows the table in the code explorer after you add
DEFINE BUFFER bXXX FOR tt_batch_compile_files.
because it shouldn't! At the moment, i intended to only show the TABLES used in the code, not the temp tables.

Anyway; I've added a section temp-tables used after the tables used to differentiates with DATABASE TABLES. The information I'm providing to the user are the following :

• which tables / temp-tables are used in the program?
• do i call database tables without using a buffer?
• do i call a database table without specifying its database?

I'm answering all those questions in the next release; please note that i don't exhaustively list ALL the uses, i only list the places where the temptables/tables are used DIRECTLY (= not through a buffer); i don't list the location where the buffers are used. I really think it would be overdoing it.
