Find a character string (FIND and RFIND)

To find a character string within the specified field use the FIND or the RFIND command. Only one of the fields on the member list can be specified at a time for the search. Use this format:


                     .-Name--.  .-NEXT--.               
>>-+-FIND-+--string--+-------+--+-------+--+--------+----------><
   '-F ---'          '-field-'  +-ALL---+  +-PREFIX-+   
                                +-FIRST-+  +-SUFFIX-+   
                                +-LAST--+  '-WORD---'   
                                '-PREV--'


>>-RFIND-------------------------------------------------------><

NAME is the default field. NEXT is the default operand. For example, this command tells ISPF to find the last occurrence of the character string XLC in the NAME field:

FIND XLC NAME LAST

ISPF automatically scrolls to bring the line containing the character string to the top of the list.

Use RFIND to repeat the search without reentering the character string.
