EFind command syntax
Syntax
Use the ISPF command you have set up with the following syntax:
- string
- Is your search string. The search strings supported are those supported by the FCH function. So
you can specify the string value in the form:
X'hhhh'
orC'ccccc'
orP'pppp'
, and so on.You can also specify more than one string using Boolean operators. Examples:string1 | string2 | string3
string1 & string2 & string3
prefix, suffix and word – keywords defining how the search string will be matched are also supported.
- ddname
- This refers to a ddname that has been allocated to your TSO/ISPF session. You can specify one or more ddnames.
- DIR
- Search restricted to directory names only, so only PDS and HFS directories will be searched.
- DRILL
- When searching HFS directories process all subdirectories. When searching version 2
PDSEs, process all member generations. Note: Use this option with caution because it might result in a long search.
- RESULT
- Search restricted to the data sets and members or path names that matched the string on the previous search.
- PARMLIB
- This will search the current PARMLIB data sets for the string.
- /reference_member
- This searches the data sets specified in:
- PROCLIB
- Search the current system proclib data sets for the string. Restriction: This parameter is available for JES2 SDSF users only.
- ASIS
- If the input data set is ISPF packed, it will be unpacked before any processing.
- SKIP
- If the input data is ISPF packed, no processing will occur.
Note: Enclose your search string in quotation marks if your
string value conflicts with a keyword value.
