'-window-'
- window
- A Dump window or Disassembly window.
Select by a Window Specification or by placing the
cursor in the window.
If omitted, the search begins at the first location that is displayed.
If both a Dump window and a Disassembly window are open, but show different
storage areas, it is not clear where the search should begin, and an
error message is issued.
- string
- The string for which IDF is to search.
Search arguments may be specified in either hexadecimal or character
form.
Hexadecimal search arguments must contain an even number of hex digits.
An apostrophe in a character argument is represented by two successive
apostrophes.
Examples of valid search arguments are:
X'0741fe3022'
C'The quick brown fox'
C'The dog''s feet are'
This function is only valid when a Dump window or a Disassembly window is open.
When the search argument is located, it becomes the first
location displayed in the selected window or in the first
Disassembly window or Dump window.
Repeat the command to continue
searching the remainder of virtual storage.
If the search argument is not found within the target program, a
message is issued.
Return codes
- 0
- Operation successful
- 5
- Search argument missing or invalid
- 6
- Not valid in current display mode, unable to determine start
address for search, or target not found
