Object/Source Search Display

This is the first screen that is always seen when you begin MDXREF. Pressing Enter with the defaults in place will result in the display of all objects in the MDXREF database. Otherwise, change the value of one or more of the entry fields to limit the display.

When the user re-enters the MDXREF display, the prior search criteria is reused.

Building the MDXREF database: Before objects will be available to list, the desired object libraries will need to be added to the MDXREF database. Also, the existing database may be rebuilt at any time. This is recommended if any objects are manually added, changed, or deleted within a library that is included in the database. If MDCMS is used in order to handle object changes, the MDXREF database is automatically updated as changes occur. Press F9 to build or rebuild the MDXREF database. See the section Building the MDXREF Database for further help with this process.

1st in Libl Only

N - every occurrence of an object/type combination, or every occurrence of a source name/source member combination, will be listed.

Y - only the first occurrence of an object/type combination, or the first occurrence of a source name/source member combination, will be listed. The order of occurrences is based on the sort sequence of the library list for the application level.

The value of Y is only permitted when a distinct application and level value is entered in the filters.
