The FIND primary command finds the next occurrence of a character string in the data you are
viewing. Figure 1. Syntax
If the character string is found, it is displayed at the top position. To find
the next occurrence of the same string, use the RFIND command, or enter the FIND command with no
argument. A message is displayed if the string cannot be found.
The string can be:
A character string not starting or ending with a quotation
mark
and not containing any embedded blanks or commas. The case of the
string is ignored. Uppercase and lowercase representations of the
same character match. For example, “Mixed” matches
“MIXED”.
A character string enclosed in quotation marks. The
string can
contain blanks and commas. The case of the string is ignored.
For example, “Exact string” matches “exact string”.
C followed
by a character string enclosed in quotation marks (C'Frog'),
or a character string enclosed in quotation marks followed by
C ('Frog'C).
The string can contain blanks and commas. The string must
match exactly (including case).
For example, “Exact string” does not match “exact string”.
X
followed by a hexadecimal string enclosed in quotation
marks (X'C1C2'), or a hexadecimal string enclosed in quotation marks
followed
by X ('C1C2'X).
