Find operation returns matches for deleted items

After deleting some alarms from a Citect 2018R2 update 07 system (including deleting various alarm records, variable tags, labels, Cicode file updates and removing genie instances from Pages) I then ran a 'Find' on one of the deleted alarm references to ensure I'd not missed anything.

But instead if getting the expected '0 matches' result the 'Find' produced multiple hits for the deleted alarm reference, all of which with 'Item' and 'Location' columns blank in the Find results window. So double-clicking on any of them (or clicking Go To button) has no effect. All of the matches were with 'Graphics' checked under Search options, if Graphics is un-checked then no matches are found.

I've now tried Packing the project, performing Update Pages on the project, and even (as a test) deleting the applicable Page and trying again. None of these things have resolved the issue.

Are the matches being detected in the pgdynobj.DBF file?

Has anyone else seen this before and can anybody suggest how it can be resolved?

Thanks

  • You could try to recreate the fast runtime display to see if it will make any difference:
    1. from the Graphic Builder, select Options
    2. unselect Fast Runtime Display
    3. then pack libraries in Active and Include projects
    4. update page in Active and included projects
    5. compile without the incremental option selected.
    6. go again at step 2 and select again Fast Runtime Display
    7. perform 2, 3, 4, 5

    At this stage see if the searching still has the references that you saw before.
    You can open the pgdynobj.DBF to see if you still have any reference there.
