findproc

Purpose
This subroutine is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use subroutine findident of module mmreflect instead.
Check if a zero-argument public procedure with the given name exists
Synopsis
function xreflect~findproc( procname:string ):boolean
Argument
procname 
The name of the procedure to find
Return value
If a zero-argument public procedure with the given name is found, true. Otherwise, false.
Example
In the following: 
public procedure myproc1
  writeln('hello');
 end-procedure
 public procedure myproc2(xyz:string)
  writeln('world');
 end-procedure
 writeln('findproc(myproc1)=',findproc('myproc1'))
 writeln('findproc(myproc2)=',findproc('myproc2'))
myproc1 will be found but myproc2 will not be found as it requires an argument. Therefore the example produces this output: 
findproc(myproc1)=true
findproc(myproc2)=false
Further information
1. If procname is the name of a function, findproc will return false.
2. If procname takes arguments, findproc will return false.
3. If procname is overloaded, findproc will return true if one of the overloads takes no arguments.
