Searching in Preprocessor View

Posted by Dominik Loewenstein on 06-Jun-2017 02:01

Is it possible to enable the search function in the preprocessor view in the Developer Studio ?

Would be really helpful to identify where some variables are defined.

As far as I know "Search" is not possible in the preprocess view. As a workaround you could do CTRL + A and Copy/Paste to an open editor file.

It can open preprocess and debug-listing in a regular editor so that you can search and navigate via the Outline View.

Stock pdsoe will also show a debug view - think the key is ctl-f9

Im not searching for the debug view and i know how to get preprocess working, but you cant search in this window.

OEDT is not an opinion for me, i use an older pdsoe 11.4.

And the most features i read sounds like they are also included in my version.

The tip is not bad I could have even come on it. Looks like its the only way...

Even more crippling about the preprocessor view is that it only shows a result if the /compile/ of the preprocessed file is succesful. So if you have a preprocessor issue resulting in a compile failure you need to jump out to a procedure editor to compile preprocess and then view the intermediate file.

I know, it really takes me some time to get it working in PDSOE
