SRCHFOR command z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II SC19-3628-00 |
|||||||||||||
Use the SRCHFOR primary command to search the data sets in the
data set list for one or more strings of data using the SuperC Utility
(see Option 3.14). You may limit the search to excluded or non-excluded
data sets, and control whether migrated data sets are recalled and
searched or not. Use this format:
The string parameter is optional but always converted to uppercase. If specified it is used to prefill the first search string on the subsequent DSLIST Srchfor Options panel. WORD, SUFFIX, and PREFIX are available operands for search string specification. Note that the search strings are case sensitive and must match exactly as specified. Consider the 'Any case' process option if you want to disregard case. Select the "ASCII" process option to cause ISPF to process the data in the data sets as ASCII. The data read from the data sets is converted from ASCII to EBCDIC. Any search string given in hexadecimal notation is assumed to be in ASCII, matching the original input data. The ASCII code page is assumed to be ISO 8859-1 (CCSID 819). The terminal code page is used as the EBCDIC code page. If the terminal code page cannot be determined code page 1047 is used. You can use the C (continuation) operand to specify that both the current and previous string must be found on the same line to constitute a match. Otherwise, lines with either string are treated as matching.
To start the search, press the Enter key from the DSLIST Srchfor Options panel. To cancel the request and return to the Data Set List, enter END or CANCEL. Output is in the listing DSN you specify and in the MESSAGE field in the DSLIST. Sort on this field to consolidate results. |
