RE: [Hardhats-members] Finding all pointers to bad entries/Re: ?Fileman bug?

You need to be a bit careful using the “PT” xref as it can be inaccurate.  Try this: 1)       Create a pointer type field in a file 2)       Look at the “PT” xref in the target (pointed to) file for a reference to the source (pointed from) file.  It should be there. 3)       Change the field datatype to something else (e.g., free text) 4)       Look again at the “PT” xref.  It is still there.   You should always verify that the referenced field does indeed point to the expected file by examining its DD entry.   Douglas K.

I'm not 100% that variable pointers create "PT" nodes, but I believe they do.
