Result view of a server Macro cross-references search
This view displays the results of the Macro cross-reference search on the server. This search was started from the
choice of the Macro contextual menu.The view title and its associated tooltip display the name and project of the instance that was the origin of the search.
The cross-references are the instances that call the Macro in the server.
The instances that are found by the search are preceded by the icon that represents their entity type. This entity type can be viewed in the tooltip that is associated with each instance.
The view displays the line number and optional comment as they are entered for each Macro call in the -CP Lines tab of the calling instances. It also displays the values of the parameters for each call. If a comment exists for a parameter in the -CP Lines, it is displayed in the tooltip that is associated with the parameter.
Possible actions on the calling instances
- Open the instance in its design editor in a read-only mode. The editor displays the same information as it would if the instance was present in the local workspace. You can navigate through the instances. For example, you can open the editor of a Data Element from the CE Lines tab of a Segment.
- Open the instance in another editor in a read-only mode. You can also open it in its COBOL editor in a read-only mode if it contains a COBOL description.
- Search for its own super references or subreferences, which are then in turn displayed in the Server References view.
Toolbar
This view contains a toolbar from which you can Export the query result
() in a CSV format that can be used in a spreadsheet program.
Changing the view display
- Click the triangle (View menu) in the toolbar and select one of the
following choices:
- Sort to specify a new sort criterion.
- Display to display more information about each instance line in the tree. If you want to remove some of the selected information, select it again in the menu.
Filters to exclude some entity types from the search results. A wizard opens with all the entity types that you can exclude. If you want to display only some entity types, you must select all the entity types by clicking Select all and clear the types to be kept.
You can filter the results by selecting a project in the Context field and by clicking one of the buttons that represent a hierarchic view of the projects in the design build path. Context only is selected by default. It means that only the instances that are found in the selected project are displayed. However, you can select another hierarchy (upper, lower, or whole) to display the instances that are found in the selected project and in the projects that are hierarchically higher or lower, or in all the projects of the hierarchy.
