not referenced explicitly in the function block. To search for implicit addresses,
check this box.
The search is performed, and the results of the search appear in the Information
Window. Found items are listed by block, rung or row, and instruction. Doubleclicking an item in the Information window opens the appropriate block and selects
the matching element.
Using Search and Replace
VersaPro allows you to search for and replace elements in block logic. You can
search for variable names, reference addresses and other elements in block logic and
replace the search item with a new name or address.

Search and Replace only works on a individual block by block basis. This
feature does not operate across the entire program.
Follow the steps below to use the Find/Replace feature.

Open the block you want to modify
using search and replace. Select the
Edit menu and choose Find/Replace.
