Hi, I am not able to SCAN teh Natural Production library for specific key-word. I have a variable defined in one of the GDA and when I SCANned for that variable it is not displaying the list pf programs and GDA. Even I tried to SCAN for the Fetched Programs, that also not listing. Is it possible/there any restriction to do SCAN in Production Lib? Any other option to do the SCAN? Thanks ---

do you have source code in the production library? “Production” is a state of mind - your installation may have Natural Security restrictions or migration practices that allow or prevent access to the “production” library. Your best bet is probably to first discuss the issue with your installation administration. ---
