Viewing the Logic Flow chart
To open the Logic Flow chart, right-click on the paragraph or procedure, and select Code Insights > Show Logic Flow. You can also see the Logic Flow chart from the Program Structure chart. For more information see, Working-with-Program-Structure-chart.
Each code block in a Logic Flow chart has the following:
- One entry point and one exit point. The entry point is indicated visually with a bold border around the node, and the contents of the entry point are shown at the top of the view.
- Each node displays the line number and action associated with that node, and when you hover over the node, it displays the associated line of code.
- If the code block represented is an invisible statement (an internally generated statement), the line number shown is replaced by ellipses (.....). This is the case with generated scope terminators, periods, and label returns.
