Form and Procedure Preparation

Form and procedure preparation can be run directly from VS Code.

1. Open any form file (.priform or .pq) or procedure file (.pripar or .pq).

2. Click the Preparation icon in the editor toolbar.

   

VS Code sends a preparation request to the active environment. A progress notification appears during execution.

The operation validates the form or procedure definition and rebuilds its metadata in Priority. Results appear in the output console.
