# Get Source

The Get Source Utility allows you to get source lines from other programs you have written and insert them into the current program in your workspace.

Steps:
Select a Program | The Source First Line and the Destination First Line will be set to the first line of the program. The Source Last Line will be set to the last line of the program. |
Select the Source First Line | The Destination First Line will be also set to the Source First Line.
Select the Source Last Line |
Select the Destination First Line |
Click View Source | At this point you may see a RED BACKGROUND Notes message. This occurs when the selected Lines of Source contain references to lines outside their range. If this is the case the utility adds (either or both) an ESCAPE statement before the first line and after the last line. (references outside the range will then reference these ESCAPE statements.)
Click Insert Source | At this point you may receive a message box indicating you cannot proceed as the inserting source would delete existing source.
