Setting Generated File Properties

Most categories of generated files have properties that you can change. The properties appear in the Generate DataBlade dialog box Properties grid when you select a category in the file tree.

The following table lists the properties of the generated file categories, their default values, categories to which they belong, and a brief description of each.

Property	Default Value	Category	Description
Format	DOS	Generate DataBlade	The format of the generated files: DOS: text lines end with a carriage return/linefeed pair. UNIX: text lines end with a linefeed character.
Merge	True	Generate DataBlade	Whether to merge custom changes from previous source code files into the new files or to overwrite existing files. See Merging Changes in Source Code and Unit Test Files for more information.
Directory	install src scripts functest	Packaging Source SQL Tests	The name of the directory that receives the generated files from each category. The path is relative to the directory that contains the project file.
Logging	False	Source	Whether to generate logging information.
Tracing	False	Source	Whether to add tracing to your generated source code. See Tracing and Error Handling for more information.
MMX	False	C	Whether to allow Intel MMX media enhancement technology in your DataBlade module. If you change the value to True, BladeSmith generates the Gen_IsMMXMachine function to check for an Intel MMX processor. See The Gen_IsMMXMachine() Utility Function for more information.
