Find operation returns matches for deleted items

Ashley

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

  • Hi Antonio.

    I followed your instructions but unfortunately the outcome was the same - I still get 27 hits from the Find tool for an alarm that has been fully deleted.
    As you suggested I managed to take a look at the pgdynobj.DBF (I dragged it into Excel to view, is there a better way of opening this file?) and sure enough I can see the same hits from the Find results in that file, so at least I know that's where they are being found.

    Thanks
