Locate a data string (LOCATE)

To find a data string, you can enter a LOCATE command in the Command field on any member list display. The format of the command is:


>>-LOCATE--string----------------------------------------------><

where:

string: A data string that is used to find an entry based on how the member list is sorted.

ISPF searches the field by which the member list was sorted for an entry equal to string. Either the entry, if found, or else the entry that immediately precedes the entry that you are searching for is scrolled to the top of the list.

For example, if the member list shown in Figure 1 is sorted by name, this command causes member MODULE12 to scroll to the top of the list:

LOCATE MODULE12
