General page

The General page contains settings for the CODE Designer.

Toolbar
Displays the CODE Designer toolbar directly below the main menu.

Use tooltips
Displays hover help over a toolbar button to provide a brief description of its function.

Include shortcuts
Shows the control keys used, if applicable, for each toolbar button along with its hover help.
Note:
This feature appears if you have enabled the Use tooltips checkbox.

Use cache
Caches any information accessed from the host such as database reference information, system values, or message constant text. Any subsequent requests for the same information will not need to communicate with the host but will use the locally cached information. This feature allows you to work disconnected from the iSeries.

Refresh cache
Obtains the latest information from the host (when requested) and refreshes the local cache. Use this option to update the cache with the latest information and work strictly with the cached information.
