VSCode MultiValue PROC Extension

Features

Syntax Highlighter

The syntax highlighter is one of the main features of the VSCode MultiValue PROC Extension. It provides developers who use the language a better way to update existing programs or develop new programs in any flavor of the MultiValue PROC language.

The VSCode MultiValue PROC Extension will highlight the following:

• Commands (A, H, RO, IF, STOFF, etc.)
• Command Parameters
• Labels
• Unquoted and Quoted Strings
• Comments
• Numeric Digits
• PROC Identifier (PQ)

Keyword Documentation Hover Provider

To provide a better development experience, the VSCode MultiValue PROC Extension ships with a Hover Provider that allows developers to quickly get relevant keyword documentation just by hovering over it!

Use

The mvBase PROC Syntax Highlighter can be activated in two ways:

1. Changing the file extension to .proc. VSCode will automatically recognize that a file needs to be interpreted by the MultiValue PROC Syntax Highlighter if it has a .proc file extension.
2. Use the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) to select Change Language Mode. From there you can select MultiValue PROC as the language for the file.

Notes

The theme works best with Monakai Dimmed or Dark+.
