Code search

The code search screen allows you to search for keywords throughout the code of your application. It will search in control procedures, templates, prefilters, calculated fields and validations.

menu Business logic > Code search

1. Enter a Search string.

2. If necessary, select search options:

   • Whole words only
   • Extend search to generated objects
   • Extend search to generated code
   • Extend search to inactive code
   • Extend search to history tables.

3. Execute the Search code task and inspect the results.

4. Optionally, execute one of the tasks that can take you to a related screen for the selected search result. See Go to a related screen for an object.

   • These tasks are only available if the search result is in either the Control procedure, Template code or Program object generated code group. For the Program object generated code group it also required that the search result concerns a program object that is connected to a model object. You cannot navigate to the Code overview screen for program objects such as create or upgrade scripts.

note

If control procedures or underlying templates are in development or review and you are not the responsible developer, hits are shown in red. Any hits on control procedure- or template code for inactive control procedures are shown in grey.
