Specifying a Tool to Enable Problem Number Entry

You need to specify a tool which will enable you to enter a problem number which can then be associated with an Eclipse file. You can do this by specifying a dialog box where you can enter the problem number:

1. Right-click the Tool Descriptors category folder, and then click New Child > AWM > Open Modeled Dialog.

   This opens the Enter Obect ID dialog box.

2. In the New ID field, type OFFL_TOOL_AWM_Dialog_GetProblemNumber.
3. Click OK.

6. Double-click the Title value cell, and then type Problem Number Dialog.
7. Double-click the Resource Processing value cell, and then select UPDATE.
8. Click OK.
9. The dialog box should have the problem number as an input field.

   Right-click OFFL_TOOL_AWM_Dialog_GetProblemNumber, and then click New Child > Input Parameter.

10. Right-click String Input Parameter, and then click Edit.

    This opens the Edit Properties dialog box.

11. Double-click the Target ID Parm field, and then select OFFL_PROP_CONT_ProblemNumber.
12. Click OK.
13. You can now preview the dialog box that the Open Modeled Dialog tool creates:

    Right-click OFFL_TOOL_AWM_Dialog_GetProblemNumber, and then click Preview Dialog.
