Whenever results are combined, any new items are added to the list, which is then automatically sorted in alphabetical order by name.
The list contains no duplicates.
Important: All the items displayed on this page are saved by software engineer when the Multisource search is closed, and are redisplayed the next time it is opened.

Stored object list
This list contains the set of objects obtained by totalizing the search results from the Result 1 and/or Result 2 pages. It contains the following details:
Name |
Object name. |
Description |
Description of the object. |

Correction |
This column is only created if the current environment is a correction environment. It contains the name of the correction holding the object. The user can immediately see whether the object is being held by the default correction, by comparing the name in the Correction column with the default correction name shown in the title bar. This column will be blank if the object is not held in a correction. |
Note: You can change the order in which the list is displayed by clicking on a column heading. Click once to sort the items in ascending order; click again to sort them in descending order.
Context-sensitive menus
Information
This option opens the Information dialog box for each selected object.
Open source
This option opens an object's source, irrespective of the application area to which it is attached.
Important:
- An error message will be returned if the software engineer does not have the necessary authorities for the application area to which the object is attached.
- If the software engineer only has authorities for one application area, the object will be opened in that application area.
- If the software engineer has authorities for several application areas including the current one, the object will be opened in the current application area.
- If the software engineer has authorities for several application areas but not the current application area, the system will display an application area list, letting him select the application area in which the object is opened.
Individual comparison
This option opens the Individual comparison dialog box for each selected object.
This dialog box is used to compare the selected object's source with the source of another object (from either the same or a different environment).
Global comparison
This option opens the Global comparison dialog box, which is used to run a comparison of the sources of a list of objects between the current environment and another.
The list of objects to be compared is initialized with the selected objects.
Replace occurrences

Submit generation
This submenu is only available with program or class objects.
A distinction is made between Adelia programs and Visual Adelia programs.
This option opens a program or class generation setup dialog box.
Note: With ADELIA programs, a generation type selection box opens if both the possible generation types ("AS/400" and "Windows") are checked in the Environment attributes. If only one 3GL generation type is checked, the Generate with parameters option opens the relevant generation setup box directly.
