COMPILE XREF option
The XREF option of the COMPILE statement provides a variety of static data about an ABL procedure, including:
*Other procedures that are RUN
*Text strings that exist in the procedure
*Code pages, include files, and shared variables used
*Events published, subscribed, and unsubscribed to
*Database tables accessed
*Indexes used for a particular database query
The following example shows the XREF option output generated by executing execlog.p. (See Run-timediagnostics for sample code of execlog.p.)
