The Request_Superfind procedure performs superfind on the designated table by the Main_Index of the designated field and notifies all connected DataDictionary objects (DDOs) of the result. It sets the Found indicator to reflect the success or failure of the find operation.
In the DataDictionary, dbForm and dbGrid classes, sends of it to a DataDictionary object (DDO) require predefined Indicator Err to be set to False beforehand, in case an error other than "Find past end of table" or "Find prior to beginning of table" is generated by the superfind.

Request_Superfind is not re-entrant. Once a major Data-Dictionary operation (save, find, delete, clear) has begun you cannot start another major operation. The reentrancy restriction applies within DDO structures and across DDO structures.
