Another PB Searching Question

[Statey603]

I am trying to locate the original declaration of a global function [ gf_chk_role() ] that is used throughout our code. I tried a search by right-clicking at the top of the treeview in the left pane. this search returned 1593 results. We have 30 plus PBLs.

I am trying to locate the function declaration and thus the source (not each individual call to it). It seems that someone else out there must have had to do this.
Is there a more efficient way locate a function declaration in PowerBuilder? I am used to Visual Studio where a right click gives the option to Go To Definition.

I appreciate any assistance with this.

In version 10.5 you can:
Open the library painter
Choose menu option Design - Options
Choose the Include Tab
Uncheck all but the function object checkbox
Save the setting
Look at the library painter for the pbls which have a plus sign (indicating they have global functions in them).
Look in each .pbl for your function.

Once you are done remember to go back and include all the other objects again.
