OpenEdge Progress Developer Studio创建.p文件时Container字段需填何种文件？

Hey there! As someone who's been working with Progress 4GL and Developer Studio for a while, let me clear up what that Container field is all about when you're creating your first .p file:

• What it is: The Container field refers to the OpenEdge project or folder within a project where your new .p (ABL Procedure) file will be stored. Since Progress Developer Studio is built on Eclipse, this follows the same project-based structure you'd see in other Eclipse-based IDEs—think of it as choosing a "home" for your new procedure file.

• How to fill it:

  • If you already have an existing OpenEdge project set up, simply use the dropdown menu to select the project itself, or a specific subfolder inside the project (like a src or procedures folder if you've organized your project that way).
  • If you haven't created a project yet, you'll need to make one first: go to File > New > OpenEdge Project, set up your project details, then return to the New ABL Procedure window—your new project will now appear in the Container dropdown.
  • The key here is to pick a location that fits your project's structure, so your .p file is included in the project's build path and easy to manage, compile, and run later.

• Quick example: Suppose you have a project named CustomerManagementApp with a subfolder called businessLogic. Selecting that subfolder as the Container will save your new .p file directly in CustomerManagementApp/businessLogic, keeping your code organized.
