Search for occurrences

The search for occurrences action in the editor allows you to quickly locate text in the editor. You can select an element in the code and other instances are displayed in the Search view.
The scope of elements that can be located using the search for occurrences is different for COBOL and PL/I programs as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Supported program elements
COBOL PL/I
  • Procedural Statement Conditions
  • Procedural End phrases
  • IF Statement
  • WHEN statements
  • OTHERWISE statements
  • Matching END statements

In the Search view the instances are highlighted differently for read or write instance. Instances that are reads are highlighted in gray and write instances are highlighted in gold. In PL/I programs, only declarations are marked as write instances.
