PowerCOBOL provides two separate mechanisms for finding and replacing text in your COBOL event procedures (scriptlets). The first is the find and replace facility in the COBOL editor. This allows you to edit an existing event procedure and do a find and/or replace on any text string in that specific program. It will not however, search past the current program if a string is not found.
The second mechanism is the Project Manager's global find and replace utilities, which will find and/or replace strings in all event procedures in a project for a single search. We will examine both of these facilities briefly here.
