Output window enhancements

The Output window displays the messages that displayed in one pane in previous versions of PowerBuilder in separate tabs for different message types.

When you start a new PowerBuilder session, the Output window has a single tab, Default. New tabs are added as you perform operations. Tabs display in the order in which they are created and remain in the Output window for the rest of the PowerBuilder session. To clear the output from the tabs when you start a new build, make sure that the Automatically Clear Output Window check box on the General page of the System Options dialog box is selected.
