FIND command operands
- BACKWARD
- causes the Session Manager to search for the specified text_string from the top line in the window on the display screen backward toward the top of the stream. The stream searched is the one displayed in either the default window or the window specified on the command.
- FORWARD
- causes the Session Manager to search for the specified text_string from the current line on the display screen forward toward the bottom of the stream. The stream searched is the one displayed in either the default window or the window specified on the command.
- LINE
- causes the Session Manager to find the number of the top line in the default window or the specified window and writes a message identifying the line number in the specified stream.
- text_string
- The string of characters for which Session Manager is to search. If the text_string contains
lowercase letters, blanks, commas, or parentheses, enclose it in single
quotation marks. A single quotation mark in the text_string must
be represented as two adjacent quotation marks.
If there are no blanks, commas, or parentheses in the text_string, you can omit the enclosing quotation marks. If you omit the enclosing quotation marks, however, the Session Manager translates the text_string to uppercase letters before beginning the search. When the FIND command is used in a CLIST, the Session Manager always stores the text_string in uppercase letters, even if it is enclosed in quotation marks.
If you specify a null text_string, the Session Manager uses the last text_string you entered as the string of characters to search for. A null text_string is defined as two adjacent quotation marks ('').
- TARGET(stream_name | SMOUT)
- The name of the stream that is to contain the message produced by the FIND.LINE command.
- window_name
- For FIND.BACKWARD and FIND.FORWARD, window_name is
the name of the window whose stream is to be searched.
For FIND.LINE, window_name is the name of the window whose top line number is to be found.
