This view displays the results of the instance search requested
from the Design Search tab (which you open 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 Design Search view
shows the character string entered in the search request, and the
number of instances which match the search criteria.
The view lists the instances found.
It also includes the generated COBOL files in which the string has
been found.
You can modify
their display. To do so, click the white upside-down triangle icon
(
View menu) of the view toolbar and select:
- Top-level elements to indicate which element
type constitutes the top of the hierarchy in the tree: folders (by
default, the folders are the entity types), packages or projects.
- Sort to specify a new sort criterion: by
name, package or project.
- Display to display additional information
about each instance line in the tree: package, project, label. You
can combine the three choices. If you want to remove one of the selected
information from the line, select it again in the menu.
This new setting is then automatically saved and associated with
this view, until you change it again.
