About view text modes of ccrc

Posted on September 24, 2008

Each ClearCase view is created with a text mode (line termination) setting that specifies how it handles line terminator sequences. This setting applies only to file elements whose element type is text_file or a subtype of type text_file. You must specify a view text mode when you create the view. You cannot change it after the view has been created.

The following line termination settings are supported by the View Creation wizard:

  • transparent text mode. In a view created in transparent text mode, no line-terminator processing is performed. If all developers at your site use the same development platform (Windows or the UNIX systems) or use tools that are compatible with either line-termination convention, all views must be created in transparent text mode. To create a view in transparent text mode, select the Transparent radio button in the View text mode area of a create view page in the View Creation wizard.
  • insert_cr text mode. In a view created in insert_cr text mode, a <CR> character is inserted before every <LF> character when files are loaded into the view and reverses the operation when files are checked in to the VOB. To create a view in insert_cr text mode, select the Insert CR radio button in the View text mode area of a create view page in the View Creation wizard.
  • strip_cr text mode. In a view created in strip_cr text mode, the <CR> character is stripped from every <CR><LF> sequence when files are loaded into the view, and reverses the operation when files are checked in to the VOB. To create a view in strip_cr text mode, select the Strip CR radio button in the View text mode area of a create view page in the View Creation wizard.
