Editing in the CCL Editor

Update and edit CCL code as text in the Studio CCL editor.

  1. Click the Authoring tab.
  2. In File Explorer, expand the project container, and double-click the .ccl file name to open it in the CCL editor.
    Note: Advanced CCL users can include multiple CCL files in the same project, by using an IMPORT statement to import shared schemas and module definitions from another file.
  3. Begin editing text in the CCL editor window.
    Note: Backslashes within string literals are used as escape characters. Any Windows directory paths must therefore be specified with two backslashes.
  4. (Optional) Press Ctrl+Space to show a syntax completion proposal.
  5. (Optional) To insert CREATE statement template code, right-click, choose Create, and then choose the element to create.
  6. Choose File > Save (Ctrl+S) to save the .ccl file and the project.
