Apply the original case from the declaration
PhpStorm can format names of variables, procedures, and functions as you defined them initially. For example, if you defined the get_Amount
function in the CREATE PACKAGE
statement, you want the same case throughout your code, not GET_AMOUNT
or get_amount
.
To apply this case throughout the file, PhpStorm must find the declaration of these variables, procedures, and functions (for example, in the CREATE PACKAGE
statement). To apply the case in multiple files, create a DDL data source from these files.
