Editor save actions

The Save Actions features allows for selected actions to occur automatically while a file is saved. The actions performed are defined by the Save Actions preference.
You can specify save actions for the PL/I source files and include files separately. If save actions is enabled, the actions performed during a save are defined by Formatter preference.
When saving a file in the PL/I Editor, the following sequence occurs:
  1. Real-time syntax checking completed
  2. Formatting is applied to the file
  3. Trailing white spaces are removed
  4. File contents are saved
  5. Preprocessor statements are identified
  6. Unreachable code identified
A progress bar shows the status of the save process.

After the save action is complete, a single Undo command can be used to remove all formatting and white space removal changes.
