SMFIND command operands

text_string

specifies the string of characters to be found. The text_string can be up to 256 characters in length and must be enclosed in delimiters that are not present in the text_string.

STREAM(stream_name)

specifies the name of the stream to be searched.

BACKWARD | FORWARD

BACKWARD: specifies that the Session Manager is to search for the text_string from the current location backward toward the top of the stream.
FORWARD: specifies that the Session Manager is to search for the text_string from the current location forward toward the bottom of the stream.

ALL | FIRST

ALL: specifies that the Session Manager is to find all occurrences of the text_string. The line number of each found text_string is displayed in the output stream for the TSO/E function. Register 15 (and the CLIST variable &LASTCC) contains the line number of the last occurrence of the text_string.
FIRST: specifies that the Session Manager is to find only the first occurrence of the text_string. The Session Manager displays the line number of the found text_string in the output stream for the TSO/E function. It also places the number in register 15 and the CLIST variable &LASTCC.

ANY | ASIS

ANY: specifies that upper and lowercase differences are to be ignored when finding the text_string.
ASIS: specifies that the Session Manager is to find an exact match of the entered text_string.

LINE(line_1:line_2)

specifies the range of lines to be searched.

If only line_1 is specified, the Session Manager searches from that line to the top or bottom of the stream depending on whether BACKWARD or FORWARD is specified.

If you specify a value for line_1 or line_2 that is not in the stream, the Session Manager uses the top or bottom line in the stream.
