Searching for the references of an instance

You can search for its super references (the instances in which a selected instance is called) or its subreferences (the instances that are called by the selected instance).

Procedure

  1. You can start the search from one of the following views:
    • The Design Explorer view,
    • The Design Search result view,
    • The References result view.

    The location where you want to start the search must be opened (open location icon).

  2. Right-click an instance and select References > Subreferences or References > Super references. You can also search for the subreferences of a generated file (.cbl file of a Program for example).
    Note: From the References menu of the Pacbase facet, you can also search for a Macro cross-references. This choice opens a specific result view.

Results

You automatically switch to the References view where the result of the reference search is displayed. The view title reminds the type of references that are displayed (References (Super) or References (Sub)) as well as the instance name.
Note: If you search for the subreferences of a generated file, the References view displays the instances that are involved in the file generation.

To toggle from the super references to the subreferences, click subreferences in the view toolbar.

To toggle from the subreferences to the super references, click super references.
