    Question DD: Can we have "Item_Find" as a Public and Documented Procedure ?

    Hi DAW,

    Can we please have "Item_Find" as a Public and documented procedure ?

    It is tremendously useful and we tend/have used it a lot over the years for custom finds and a way to populate the buffer before the actual find.

    Having a train new developers on how to use this technic is hard especially when it's "not documented" and it's denoted as a "Private" procedure.

    A classic example on how it can be used is as follows:

    Using the "Order Entry" workspace in DF19, copy in the attached OrderDtlList.vw


    1. Add "OrderDtlList.vw" to Order.src, compile & run
    2. Load the OrderDtlList view
    3. Click on row #3 (Order 138)
    4. Now type "543" to search and press Enter ( order# 543 is few rows below )
    5. Notice the Grid/List jumps to order# 572 instead - due the multi-segment index issue.


    To Fix this:
    1. Uncomment the "Item_Find" procedure within the oOrderDetail_DD in the view
    2. Compile & Re-test
    3. Notice that now, the grid jumps correctly to order# 543


    This is just one of many ways Item_Find can be used.

    We would appreciate if it was made a public procedure.

    Thanks.
