Syntax Auto-Completion
The Editor's auto-completion feature dynamically suggests valid syntax completions for the object and property names you type. This can help you avoid many errors caused by misspellings.

To use one of the suggestions in the auto-completion list, do one of the following:
• Continue typing until the correct option is highlighted. Then press 'Tab' or 'Enter' on the keyboard to make the completion.
• Press the cursor keys on the keyboard to highlight the desired option. Then press 'Tab' or 'Enter' on the keyboard to make the completion.
• Click the desired option with the mouse to make the completion.
Auto-completion is available in the following cases:
• Completing object names (e.g., “Table1,” “CALC”).
• Completing global function names (e.g., “dateAdd()”).
The Editor shows a complete list of properties when you type the dot (.) after the object name.
• Completing object property names (e.g., “Table1.visible”).
• Completing report parameter names (e.g., “parameter.companyName”).
• Completing the right-hand side of an assignment (e.g., “foreground = ...”). Note that when you type the assignment operator (=), the initial auto-complete list contains an 'Edit Value' option as an aid to specifying fixed values. See Fixed Value Selection for more information.
Note that the auto-complete feature cannot provide auto-completions for all possible cases. For example, variables declared within the current script are not auto-completed.
