This view displays the results of the instance search that
was requested from the Design Search tab. You
opened this tab with the button in the toolbar
or the Search menu. The search bore on one
or more open locations of the Design Explorer view.
The title of the view displays the character string that was entered in the search request, and the number of instances that match the search criteria.
The view contains a tree structure with the instances found.
If you right-click a Data Element, you can select Usage search. This search detects the Data Element usages in the code that is entered manually in the PROCEDURE DIVISION of Programs, Screens, or Servers (files with a cbl extension). Selecting Usage search opens a dialog box where you can filter the cbl files on which the search is to run. When you click OK in the dialog box, you switch to the Usage Search view where the results of each usage are displayed.
You can also 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.
