Search-Self & Search-Taget

[Kalan]

Hi,

When we add super procedure into session super procedure handle stock, We can define these option, Search-self and Search-Target. Can you pls someone clarify me about the difference of these options?

Thanks,
Alan K

• SEARCH-TARGET: Search in this super procedure from the bottom of the super procedure stack which belongs to a base procedure. Example: Procedure A has super procedures B and C with SEARCH-TARGET added. When you do RUN xyz IN A it will search A, then B and then C.
• SEARCH-SELF: Search in this super procedure from the bottom of the super procedure stack which belongs to the procedure to which this super procedure was added. Example: Procedure A has super procedure B which in turn has itself a super procedure C. When you do RUN xyz in A it will search A, B and then C.

I've never used the second case as I have not had a valid case for it yet. The first case is employed by the ADM2 ( and Dynamcis ) which make heavy use of super procedures.
