DDS Tree

The DDS Tree is located on the left-hand side of the CODE Designerwindow. This view presents the loaded DDS source as a tree structure, showing the hierarchy of files, records, fields, help specifications, keys, and keywords in each selected DDS object. The DDS Tree shows groups of records, which represent the screens or reports you are designing, as peers of the file in the tree hierarchy.

In this view, you can create groups, and copy or move keys, keywords, fields, and records. If any DDS object contains an error, the icon representing it displays a red X.
