FindFunctionDefinition

Description

Searches for a global function in one or more PowerBuilder libraries (PBLs) and provides information about the script definition.

Syntax

FindFunctionDefinition ( functionname {, librarylist } )

Argument	Description
functionname	The name of a global function for which you want information.
librarylist (optional)	An array of strings whose values are the fully qualified pathnames of PBLs. If you omit librarylist, FindFunctionDefinition searches the library list associated with the running application.

Returns

ScriptDefinition. Returns an object reference with information about the script of functionname. If any arguments are null, FindFunctionDefinition returns null.

Usage

You can call FindClassDefinition to get a class definition for a global function. However, the ScriptDefinition object provides information tailored for functions.

Examples

Example 1

This example searches the libraries for the running application to find the function definition for f_myfunction:

ScriptDefinition sd_myfunc

sd_myfunc = FindFunctionDefinition("f_myfunction")

Example 2

This example searches the libraries in the array ls_libraries to find the class definition for w_genapp_frame:

ScriptDefinition sd_myfunc

string ls_libraries[ ]

ls_libraries[1] = "c:\pwrs\bizapp\windows.pbl"

ls_libraries[2] = "c:\pwrs\framewk\windows.pbl"

ls_libraries[3] = "c:\pwrs\framewk\ancestor.pbl"

sd_myfunc = FindFunctionDefinition( &

		"f_myfunction", ls_libraries)
