From Build Date

Description
April 16, 2019 Currently, if *IFS is included in the list of libraries to cross-reference for a level, the entire IFS file system is cross-referenced for viewing in MDOpen.

Now, *IFSMD can be used instead, if only relevant folders should be cross-referenced.

The folders considered by *IFSMD are:

  • Target Folders for *IFS attributes and attributes with *IFS source in MDCMS
  • Replication Folders for *IFS attributes and attributes with *IFS source in MDCMS
  • *IFS search template folders
  • The /MDCMS folder
  • Folders defined in MDOpen to contain open source files to be cross-referenced
February 4, 2020 The MDXREF build can now be refreshed for all application levels with a single job. Either by pressing F10 in the Application/Level screen or by specifying *ALL on the XREFBLDLIB command.
April 15, 2020 When searching for the use of a file’s field within source members, scan the members for all modules bound into a program registered as using the file.
November 27, 2020 MDXREF now includes references between physical files when a physical file references field definitions in another file.
