The Sources page provides a detailed view of all program source members defined within the repository. Each row represents a source member with key metadata, such as its library, file, type, and counts of variables or procedures.

The page helps developers:

  • Inspect source definitions and their attributes.
  • Navigate quickly to specific members.
  • Analyze the structure of program elements (lines, variables, procedures).
  • Validate source-to-repository synchronization.
  • Filter, save, and export data for review and reporting.
