Using the Code Browser Assistant

Use the Code Browser assistant to browse the calling trees of user-defined functions. It helps you determine what child functions are called by the parent functions. You can expand the entire tree or one node at a time. You can also view the function definition for a user-defined function.

To view the function tree of a user-defined function:

1. Access the Code Browser assistant using one of the following options:
   • Choose Window – Assistants – Code Browser.
   • Right-click the function name in the source code pane and choose Go To Code Browser ( ) from the context-menu.
   
   The Go To Code Browser ( ) context-menu item gets enabled for selection only after you load the open file.
2. In the Function drop-down list, type the name of the function you want to display. The expanded function appears in the results pane.
   
   
   You can use the Filter drop-down list to filter the results by User (functions that are neither binary nor write-protected), System (non-user binary SKILL functions), or All.

You can right-click a function name in the results pane and select one of the following options:

• Go To Source: To view the definition of the function in the source code pane.
• Expand Deep: To display all user-defined functions recursively until the entire calling tree is expanded.
• Collapse: To collapse the tree and remove all functions called by the selected function from the results pane.
• Remove: To remove the selected function from the results pane.
